Lizzie Finds Her Spark! The First Adventure in the Spark STEM Squad Series

In the heart of New Orleans, Lizzie learns that STEM isn't just in classrooms. It's part of everyday life! She loves her neighborhood filled with music, parades, and flavor, but one question keeps her curious: what will she be when she grows up? Inspired by her mamá's journey to the U.S. for a brighter future, Lizzie dreams of a career that honors her mother's sacrifices and fuels her love for science, technology, engineering, and math. As she explores her city, Lizzie begins to see how creativity and problem-solving shape the world around her from the rhythm of jazz to the motion of streetcars. With encouragement from her friends Ryan and Marigny and her dog Pepper, she discovers that imagination, courage, and teamwork can turn bright ideas into real possibilities. Perfect for readers ages 8-12, Lizzie Finds Her Spark! is a multicultural chapter book that celebrates curiosity, friendship, and diversity in STEM. Through Lizzie's eyes, young readers see that innovation can begin anywhere, even in their own backyard. If your child enjoys Ada Twist, Scientist or The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl, they'll love joining Lizzie and the Spark STEM Squad where every big dream begins with one small spark.
