    About this ebook

    Bella learns that sometimes following your dreams is easier said than done in this fourth book of the Craftily Ever After chapter book series!

    Bella is a computer whiz and loves brainstorming new gadgets to make. So when she spies a flier for a citywide robotics competition, the young inventor’s wheels start spinning. She can’t wait to start building and programming! There’s just one problem: all the kids on her school’s robotics team are older. Bella must find a way to prove herself to the big kids. Now the competition is heating up—both in the craft clubhouse and at school. Will Bella find the confidence to follow her dreams and conquer the competition?

    With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Craftily Ever After chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.

      She gripped the steering wheel with her purple leather racing gloves as she sped down the race track and into a tight turn.

      Just then a light flashed red. Warning! Warning!

      Oh no! She had taken the turn a little too fast. Bella spun the wheel, leaned hard, and . . .
