Ellie, Engineer by Jackson Pierce is a cute, quick read about a young girl, Ellie, who likes to build and design inventions. This book is one that I would consider a must-read for parents with young children because of the attack on our societal view of how young girls and boys should act, and what they should like. It has such a positive message for today's children.

Ellie is very active about likely, something as a society is considerably more "boyish", and at points in the novel, she even states that she likes it, and therefore it cannot be "boyish" to paraphrase. It also mentions a boy liking tea parties. It just brings a huge impact about how what we enjoy should not be defined by girlish or boyish, but just accepted as an event that children like.

I would highly recommend Ellie, Engineer to parents with young children, who are more likely to be impacted by the positive message in the book. I also think that it's a great read for adults and young adults who enjoy reading MG books.
