Now, the class has constructed regular dioramas with clay and construction paper. Ada, her best friend Nina, and sometimes nemesis Milton have built a complex scale model of an historic silver mine.

But, when Milton reveals that he added his “old Milton touch” on their project right before turning it in, Ada worries that he has sabotaged their work. This is will turn out to be Ada Lace’s Impossible Mission.

Therefore, in a desperate attempt to save their project, Ada and Nina use their combined creative and technical prowess. They perform a heist and break into their teacher’s supply closet after school.
