Ada Lace - third-grade scientist and inventor extraordinaire - has discovered something awful: Her neighbor's beloved Yorkie has been dognapped! With the assistance of a quirky neighbor named Nina (who is convinced an alien took the doggie) and her ever-growing collection of gadgets, Ada sets out to find the wrongdoer. As their investigation becomes more and more mysterious, Ada and Nina grow closer, proving that opposites do in fact attract.

Ada Lace is building a new robot! She's determined to beat Milton in the upcoming robotics competition. But she's distracted - Ada finds her dad's art class impossible while Nina is the star of the class, basking in the glory of being Mr. Lace's star pupil. When Mr. Lace suggests that Nina put on an art show, Ada becomes jealous and loses her temper. Now Ada isn't speaking to her dad, she's falling behind in art class, and she still doesn't know how to fix her robot.

Third grader and inventor extraordinaire Ada Lace likes nothing more than to tinker with mechanics like her robot, George. Her latest project is to fix up a ham radio, something that she could use to contact people on this planet...and beyond. The only problem is that she just can't get it to work properly. During a sleepover, Ada's best friend, Nina, hears something strange coming from the radio in the middle of the night. A distant voice says, "Release the swarm!" convincing Nina that aliens are about to invade planet Earth.
