The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope by William Kamkwamba

5.0

---

While the technical descriptions were challenging (I had to recall my eighth grade knowledge of currents and electricity) the story was engaging.
William's family's challenges during the drought demonstrates the resilience of humans.
I'd recommend this book to students interested in science, in other cultures, biographies, or teenagers.
