The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
by William Kamkwamba, Bryan Mealer
I almost gave this book 5 stars. I admit it started off a bit slowly. This was a fascinating look at the life of a young man in an African village in Malawi. I loved reading about how he taught himself the principles needed to build his own windmill and create electricity for his household. He showed remarkable ingenuity and tenacity in gathering the materials necessary and making it work. This is an inspiring story that appealed to my "science side" and my emotional side!
