Penguin The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Young Readers Edition

Product 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.

The machine was ready.

After so many months of preparation, the work was finally complete: The motor and blades were bolted and secured, the chain was taut and heavy with grease, and the tower stood steady on its legs.

The muscles in my back and arms had grown as hard as green fruit from all the pulling and lifting.

And although I’d barely slept the night before, I’d never felt so awake.

My invention was complete.

It appeared exactly as I’d seen it in my dreams.

My name is William Kamkwamba, and to understand the story I’m about to tell, you must first understand the country that raised me.

Malawi is a tiny nation in southeastern Africa.

On a map, it appears like a flatworm burrowing its way through Zambia, Mozambique, and Tanzania, looking for a little room.

Malawi is often called “The Warm Heart of Africa,” which says nothing about its location, but everything about the people who call it home.
