Ellie’s the kind of girl who has a tool belt strapped over her skirt. She’s got an engineer’s brain and wants to design, create, and build whenever she has the chance and her best friend Kit’s birthday gives her just that. Ellie will make Kit the best doghouse ever created, but to do so she needs to enlist the help of her friends (who are girls) and the neighborhood boys. The two groups don’t get along, and Ellie has to navigate the two plus Kit’s concerns as she tries to build her friend the best birthday present ever.

I appreciate that Ellie, Engineer has a central female character who “breaks the mold” of stereotypes, but at times the book hits this theme a bit too on the nose. Overall Ellie, Engineer has a good story that kids will like, but I found it a little superficial at times.
