15 Chapter Book Series about STEM Girls for ages 6-10

I love reading books about girls that invent, tinker, research, and simply do science (even if sometimes they don’t actually realize it’s science!).

Here is my list of recommended STEM chapter books that feature girls as main characters. These are easy to read stories, which are perfect for ages 6-10.

The list is structured by wordcount, from 3-5K words up to 15K words.
