What do you get if you add a beaker full of STEAM + a sprinkle of mischief + a heaping dose of humor? Kinzie's Kinventions of course!
Kinzie's ninety-eight fans love her problem-solving videos on her very own Kinzie's Kinventions ViewTube channel! But how do you solve problems like a new wobbly-bobbly-headed baby brother or a know-it-all big sister? Lucky for her, Kinzie doesn't have to invent anything for those problems because her sister tells her a secret. Kinzie's from Jupiter, and her space parents will return for her on her seventh birthday. That's in three days! She can blast off to Jupiter to live with her space parents.
