Frankie Sparks and the Big Sled Challenge
Book #3 of Frankie Sparks, Third-Grade Inventor
Illustrated by Nadja Sarell
Table of Contents
About The Book
Frankie Sparks uses her inventing skills to build the best sled ever in this third chapter book in the STEM inspired Frankie Sparks, Third-Grade Inventor series.
Frankie Sparks can’t wait to enter the town-wide sled design contest. With the help of a team, she must design and build a sled using only cardboard and duct tape. And there are PRIZES!
Each team in the contest will be judged on:
1. Best looking sled.
2. Fastest sled.
3. Most team spirit.
Even though Frankie might know a lot about building a sled, it turns out she still has a lot to learn about building a team. With lots of twists, turns, and big bumps along the way, can Frankie and her fellow super-sled designers create a dream machine—and a dream team?
