## Description

Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor who brought electricity to his Malawian village. When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land. Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.

Review: Excellent book to read for young reader - I purchased this book for my son. The book starts with William's childhood, which portrait his village condition perfectly. Slowly book turn towards famine in Africa in 2001. How people struggled to get their daily live? How does starvation looks like? How comfortable are we? Then next segment comes, which is real meat of the crazy boy. The book has been written with simple English & emotional enough to understand his pain & their village pain. Dont forget to watch his video in TED talks, also find 2009 video as well. You can visually feel how he turned himself in 2 years of time period.
Review: Go for it!! - Excellent my son loved it.
