Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code by Corinne Purtill

Hardcover – Rebel Girls – Nov 2019 – 128 pages

Growing up in nineteenth century London, England, Ada is curious about absolutely everything. She is obsessed with machines and with creatures that fly. She even designs her own flying laboratory!

According to her mother, Ada is a bit too wild, so she encourages Ada to study math. At first Ada thinks: Bleh! Who can get excited about a subject without pictures? But she soon falls in love with it. One day she encounters a mysterious machine, and from that moment forward Ada imagines a future full of possibility – one that will eventually inspire the digital age nearly two hundred years later.
