Ada Twist, Scientist: Ghost Busted

A parent should reach for this book when their child is intrigued by spooky sounds or expresses fear about noises in the dark. This early chapter book follows the ever-curious Ada Twist and her friends, the Questioneers, during a sleepover. When they hear a mysterious moaning, their first hypothesis is a ghost. Instead of hiding, they use teamwork and the scientific method to investigate, forming hypotheses, gathering data, and building a ghost-catching machine. The story beautifully models how to confront fear with logic, curiosity, and collaboration. It's a perfect choice for turning nighttime anxieties into an opportunity for discovery and empowering kids to become brave problem-solvers.
