Description
Janet & Geoff Benge. This book tells the story of Thomas Edison’s life, from when he was a young lad inadvisably playing with fire until he became a renowned inventor. This well-researched book tells the story without covering up his problems. His mind and hands were always busy, tackling the next challenge or idea. But his family life suffered, and there were times when the debt was piled high. A good book to learn the history of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Middle/upper grades; 203 pages; paperback; Emerald Books.
