STEM Books for Girls Ages 10–15
More than a great read, a real skill builder!
The Charms Book Series is a middle grade STEM book series created for girls ages 10–15 (grades 6–9) who dream of exploring engineering, aviation, aerospace, and innovation. Through exciting adventures, hands-on learning, and unforgettable characters, each story inspires girls to discover new possibilities, build real-world life skills, and become the hero of their own journey.
The Charms book series is an exciting middle grade fiction collection designed for kids ages 8–14 who love adventure, mystery, friendship, and big ideas — and for parents looking for books that do more than entertain. These stories follow smart, curious characters who solve problems, explore STEM concepts, and grow confidence through real-world challenges woven into fast-moving plots. Perfect for reluctant readers and strong readers alike, the Charms books combine page-turning fun with life skills like creativity, resilience, leadership, and critical thinking. Teens get stories they actually want to read, while parents and educators gain books that support growth, curiosity, and meaningful learning beyond the classroom.
Book 1: Rocket City Love
Meet Attie — a 15-year-old inventor with a mind wired for STEM and a heart full of curiosity. When her family moves from Creativity Cove to Rocket City, she’s thrown into a world of new faces, high-stakes challenges, and one very distracting boy in science class. But this isn’t just a story about being the new girl. It’s about what happens when a girl discovers what she’s actually capable of.
More than a great read — a real skill builder. Every Charms book is the equivalent of earning a badge. Like Girl Scouts, 4-H, FFA, and FHA, each story is built around a real-world life skill your daughter will actually use. Book 1 focuses on communication and navigating change — skills every girl needs the moment middle school hits. This is career exploration for girls delivered through story. Attie’s world introduces aerospace, engineering, technology, and entrepreneurship not as subjects to study but as adventures to live.
