Nova & the Wild Idea

By: Smith, Katherine

Every big invention begins with one spark.

When Nova and her friend Sol set out to build a flying machine made of cardboard, spoons, and imagination, they're sure it will soar across the sky. But when "Project SkyWing" crashes into the grass, their excitement crashes too.

With a little help from their art teacher-and a brand-new word, tinker-they discover that creativity isn't about being perfect. It's about being brave enough to try again.

Nova & Friends: The Wild Idea is a warm, funny, and inspiring early chapter book about imagination, friendship, and perseverance. Perfect for ages 7-10, this story shows that wild ideas don't have to work perfectly-they just have to start.

Perfect for:
- Early readers ready for their next step beyond picture books
- Kids who love creative, curious stories with heart
- Parents and teachers who value growth mindset and resilience
- Fans of Ivy & Bean and The Yasmin Series

Includes a Reflection Page and Try This Activity to inspire young readers to dream big, tinker often, and believe in their ideas.

Because sometimes the best way to fly... is to try.
