Book Review of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope

reviewed on + 670 more book reviews


What an inspiring book! It's the story of a kid who persisted with his idea, despite almost no resources and even less money or help, until he succeeded. There's a section in the middle of the book that is hard going if you're not scientifically inclined, but stick with it because after that come the kudos that will bring tears to your eyes. Very moving. It would make a great gift for any boy or girl who likes to tinker and dream big.
