蘿西在白天是一個安靜的女孩，但到了晚上，當她獨自一人在她的房間時，那些別人眼中的垃圾卻是她一個個從雜物做出來的發明靈感。害羞的蘿西因為怕別人的異樣眼光，不敢讓任何人看到她這些小玩意，像是熱狗掌櫃、氦氣褲等，但她也未因此就放棄發明。

　　直到一天，神奇的事發生了，她的羅斯阿姨來探訪她，提醒她還有一個目標尚未達成：打造飛行器！蘿西建造了一個機器想讓夢想成真，但卻失敗了。當她正喪氣時，羅斯阿姨卻告訴她：這個發明其實很成功喔！因為，只有當我們因害怕失敗而不再嘗試時，才算是真正的失敗。經過這件事所學習到的精神，讓蘿西打從內心成為一位真正的工程師了！【文∕博客來外文館】

Don't miss Rosie's further adventures--with her friends Iggy Peck and Ada Twist--in the instant New York Times bestseller Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters, an all-new chapter book starring The Questioneers

Rosie Revere dreamed of becoming a great engineer. Where some people see rubbish, Rosie sees inspiration. Alone in her room at night, shy Rosie constructs great inventions from odds and ends. Hot dog dispensers, helium pants, python-repelling cheese hats: Rosie's gizmos would astound--if she ever let anyone see them.

Afraid of failure, she hides them away under her bed. Until a fateful visit from her great-great-aunt Rose (AKA Rosie the Riveter ), who shows her that the first flop isn't something to fear--it's something to celebrate. And you can only truly fail, if you quit.

Praise for Rosie Revere, Engineer"Comically detailed mixed-media illustrations that keep the mood light and emphasize Rosie's creativity at every turn."--Publishers Weekly

"The detritus of Rosie's collections is fascinating, from broken dolls and stuffed animals to nails, tools, pencils, old lamps and possibly an erector set. And cheddar-cheese spray."
--Kirkus Reviews

"This celebration of creativity and perseverance is told through rhyming text, which gives momentum and steady pacing to a story, consistent with the celebration of its heroine, Rosie. She's an imaginative thinker who hides her light under a bushel (well, really, the bed) after being laughed at for one of her inventions."
--Booklist
