Nominated for the Carnegie Medal
Highly Commended, Young Quills Historical Fiction Award
Ada Byron is rich and clever, but she longs to be free. Free to explore all the amazing ideas that come to her imagination, like flying mechanical horses and stories inspired by her travels. Free to find love and passion beyond the watchful gaze of her mother and governesses. And free to learn the full truth about her father, the notorious Lord Byron. Then Ada meets a man whose invention might just change the world – and he needs her visionary brilliance to bring it to life . . .
A wonderfully witty and poignant portrayal of the young life of Ada Lovelace, the 19th-century mathematician who is hailed as the world’s first computer programmer.
Julia Gray is an author and occasional singer-songwriter based in Oxfordshire. Her young adult novel The Otherlife (2016) was longlisted for the Branford Boase Award. Little Liar (2018) was shortlisted for Best YA Novel at Crimefest. I, Ada (2020) was shortlisted for the Young Quills Award for Historical Fiction. All three novels were published by Andersen Press and nominated for the Carnegie Medal. Julia presented a podcast series to accompany I, Ada, in which she interviewed women in the fields of maths and science. Julia has released six albums and regularly writes and performs music inspired by books; she is also the lead writer for the publisher Wonderbly.
