(2) 4-6 When heavy rains, then drought, hit Malawi, young William Kamkwamba used his scientific ingenuity to make a windmill and help people in need. Soon he dreamed of conquering darkness, pumping water to the villages, and fighting hunger. This young readers' edition of the same-titled adult memoir offers an inspiring, well-told true tale of one young man's passion for science making his world better.
