Daughter of the poet Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace was a child prodigy. Brilliant at maths, she read numbers like most people read words. In 1834 she came to the attention of scientist Charles Babbage, who had just built an amazing ‘thinking machine’. Thus began a remarkable collaboration in the invention of computer. Ages 10+.

Philip Ardagh
I love these books
Maureen Freely, The Observer
A stunning collection that my children love as much as I do ... Each has its own distinct style but all are highly charged dramas…
Financial Times
Great stories - entertaining but not patronising
