This is narrative history, so there is dialogue that brings the story of this genius woman to life. As an older reader, I sometimes wanted more, but young readers will be satisfied with the level of detail. The artwork is beautiful throughout.

Rebel Girls books are amazing. There is not a single one I disliked. They are done with so much love and it's great to learn about all those amazing women.

The Rebel Girls series branching into chapter books has been such a gift for the young readers in our home. We had talked about Ada Lovelace before - thanks to the Ada Twist books by Andrea Beaty - but this was still a delight, especially because we had the chance to meet Ada as a little girl. It was the perfect read for the 7 and 9 year old readers, both to read independently and as a read aloud. The illustrations throughout each chapter are bold and bright - just what we have come to expect from this series. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance reader copy. All opinions are entirely my (and my young readers’) own.

Clever, beautifully written and entertaining. And, what is unusual in the mass market of contemporary domestic noir/childrens books, characters you actually care about. This book has a great plot and I enjoyed reading it because it was really engrossing.

Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code is another excellent installment in the Rebel Girls series.

This book focuses on Ada Lovelace, who was one of the world's first computer programmers and tells the reader of her life from growing up in London with a mother who thinks her daughter is wild and out of control. I loved how inadvertently her mother puts her daughter onto her life journey by ensuring she learned maths in an attempt to keep her focus away from her love of machines and to a subject that could aid her in employment.

It made me chuckle that what starts off as a punishment becomes a new love, and Ada finds that she's also extremely good at it. From her love of mathematics and an accidental meeting with the creator of an intriguing machine? Ada's two loves become combined.

Ada Lovelace is would become a true pioneer of computer sciences, and this small book from Rebel Girls tells her story in an engaging and easy to read manner. Once again alongside the story itself, there is some activities to do that are educational, with a focus on simple coding, and mathematical ideas.

If you've a child who's fascinated by coding on such things as roblox etcetera? Then I would suggest getting this to show them where it all began.

Thank you NetGalley and Rebel Girls for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I've read multiple Rebel Girls books before, enjoyed all of them, however this one I struggled with a little bit. While I enjoyed the science part of the story, and Ada finding a way to help men figure out computer programs, at the end I was just kind of lost into what Ada actually achieved. I wish it was a bit clearer and flashed out more.

The story of Ada's life is inspiring and sad at the same time. Cause, as we girls living in a free countries (mostly), we are aware that we cannot agree on any kind of discrimination. Ada was alone on the battlefiled.

She was a genius, brilliant, smart, above average, but at the same time, she has to manage notorious ambitious of her father to became a wife, set up a family and be a silent, well behaved girl in society. Why? Cause "nobody wants to have a wife with a voice".

So, this story is a great history book for little girls. To show them that they can be themselves no matter what, to encourge them to think out of the box and believing that their voice DOES matter depsite the circumstances.

Description

From the world of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls comes a story based on the exciting real-life adventures of Ada Lovelace, one of the world’s first computer programmers.

Growing up in nineteenth century London, England, Ada is curious about absolutely everything. She is obsessed with machines and with creatures that fly. She even designs her own flying laboratory!

---- My Opinion ---
Rebel Girls Books are always super interesting and easy to read. As a female Nerd and Geek I always love to see other "Computer Girls" - and also this time I enjoyed the book as well! (Don´t want to spoil too much, so I added a bit of the official Description).

Thanks for letting me read it!!

Amazing story about an important historical figure! I read this with my 8 year old, and she enjoyed it as well.

A fun, engaging and beautifully illustrated story of one of the pioneers of computer coding and an inspirational woman of STEM.

Ada Lovelace had an inquisitive and adventurous mind. When her mother encouraged her to learn maths she was resistant until she realised how useful it was in a number of areas.

When she meets Charles Babbage, inventor of the earliest type of computer, Ada quickly understands how far reaching the applications of the engine could be, and writes the first computer code using punch cards. Her ideas went on to be used in developing the field of computing many years later.

The book also includes some fun puzzles which give an insight into codes and programming.

Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer in history, has always fascinated me. That’s why I enjoyed reading 'Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code', a chapter book that narrates her early life and how she developed her love for math and machines. This book belongs to the 'Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls' series, which tells stories of remarkable women from different times and fields.

The book is written in a captivating and easy way, with vivid illustrations and interesting facts. It portrays how Ada was inquisitive about everything, especially about flying and machines. She also faced many obstacles, such as her severe mother, her health issues, and the biases of her society. She found a friend and a mentor in Charles Babbage, the creator of the Analytical Engine, a forerunner of the modern computer. Together, they worked on creating a code that would make the machine do complex calculations.

'Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code' is a book that praises the power of imagination, creativity, and logic. It also shows how Ada was ahead of her time, and how her work influenced the digital age that we live in today. The book also contains additional text on Ada’s legacy, as well as educational activities to teach simple coding and mathematical concepts.

This book is ideal for anyone who loves math, science, and history. It is also a great book for young readers who want to learn more about an incredible woman who changed the world with her ideas. 'Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code' is a book that inspires me to pursue my dreams and to never stop learning new things. I highly suggest it to anyone who wants to be inspired and informed.

This is an excellent novel; the plot moves quickly and the chapters are about the right length. The artwork on the cover and throughout the book was fantastic.
At a period when women were not permitted to participate in STEM fields, this narrative follows a lady who is fascinated by mathematics and science.
She had a passion for technology and computer science, studying about both avidly. While her life was cut short before she could build these robots, her legacy lives on as engineers and scientists, impressed by her prescient understanding of complex technological principles, have realized her plans in subsequent decades.

As usual, this is a fun but educational account about one of the few remarkable women history remembers
I'd highly recommend this book for anyone who's looking to gift a girl child.

Ada didn't like math. But then she learned how to use it.
Rebel Girls and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It will be published on January 17th.

As Ada grows up, her mother gets more critical. To avoid that, she doesn't tell her anything that's controversial.

She meets Charles Babbage and sees his machines. Soon she's writing her own computer programs.

Ada is an amazing woman...

I can't get enough of the Rebel Girls books! The art is amazing, and the stories that they tell us are so important for the young generation to know... Ada Lovelace was an incredible woman whose contribution to the world needs to be known!

My daughters and I adore Rebel Girls’ books and this one is no exception. The color palette in this book is perfection! I learned alongside my children about a woman in math and science- a woman I have never heard of before this book.

Questi libricini sono così carini per passare una serata diversa con la mia sorellina, insegnandole la storia del mondo ma anche del femminismo, senza però essere pesante.

This is a cute book for boys and girls who love read-aloud stories about strong women, inventors, and sharing an understanding about where modern technologies like computers and coding originated from.

My daughter has been interested in learning to code recently, and absolutely loved this book about Ada Lovelace. She's always so excited to learn about women who've done amazing things through history.

This book was perfectly balanced between the illustrations and the story. Ada Lovelace is portrayed in a realistic way and she can become a role model for children reading the book. It was also a beautiful book and I liked the idea behind it and the manner of telling her story. Excellent!
