The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: A Memoir by William Kamkwamba, Bryan Mealer
4.25
dark emotional informative inspiring sad medium-paced
The beginning was quite slow for me and there's a couple of spots with a dog that are just not fun--one of which is absolutely gutting--but I learned a lot and holy crap how impressive is it that he did all that just on his own? Plus, of course, lots of library love because access to books there, even old discarded textbooks, allowed him to learn about something he was curious about while he couldn't afford to go to school. I'm really curious where and what he is up to now.
