The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Young Readers Edition by William Kamkwamba, Bryan Mealer

5.0

---

This is a phenomenal book: the true story of William kamkwamba, who taught himself electromagnetism out of an outdated textbook in rural Malawi during the 2001 famine in order to bring wind-powered electricity to his family. And that's just the beginning of the story! Highly inspiring book, sure to be engaging (and bring some much needed perspective) to American children and teenagers.
