She could make anything. She could fix anything. And when she took a thing apart, she put it back together better than before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Beatrice left home to study engineering, she knew that as a girl she wouldn't be quite like the other engineers--and she wasn't. She was better. Still, it took hard work and perseverance to persuade the Royal Aircraft Establishment to give her a chance. But when World War II broke out and British fighter pilots took to the skies in a desperate struggle for survival against Hitler's bombers, it was clearly time for new ideas. Could Beatrice solve an engine puzzle and help Britain win the war? American author Mara Rockliff and British illustrator Daniel Duncan team up for a fresh look at a turning point in modern history--and the role of a remarkable woman whose ingenuity, persistence, and way with a wrench (or spanner) made her quite unlike anyone else. An author's note and a list of selective sources provide additional information for curious readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mara Rockliff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 9.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536212525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e514350 \/ Girl Who Could Fix Anything: Beatrice Shilling, World War II Engineer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021 pg. 123\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMara Rockliff \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of many books for children, including the Orbis Pictus Honor Book \u003ci\u003eMesmerized \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAnything But Ordinary Addie\u003c\/i\u003e, both illustrated by Iacapo Bruno; \u003ci\u003eAround America to Win the Vote\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Hadley Hooper; \u003ci\u003eDoctor Esperanto and the Language of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Zosia Dzierzawska;\u003ci\u003e Jefferson Measures a Moose\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by S.
