The Man Who Made Time Travel

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. This picture book biography focuses on self-taught obsessive clock maker John Harrison, who, in the 1700s, became fascinated with solving the problem of determining longitude at sea. Lasky carefully distinguishes fact from conjecture yet makes the whole story lively and compelling, as do Hawkes's informative, often humorous, illustrations. Bib.
