That book was always checked out of my elementary school library. You had to be on a hold list and wait forever to get it.

I don't even know if younger girls are the problem - plenty of little girls love building things with Legos and the like. It's more around 6th-7th grade (12-13 years old) when girls begin losing interest in math and science, mainly due to peer expectations. Outreach in that age group would probably be more beneficial.
