Story Behind the Name series.
Illustrated by
Stephanie Dominguez.
Glatzer charts George Ferris's journey from a boy longing to do "something big" to meeting the challenge of creating a "novel, original, daring, and unique" centerpiece for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Slick, cartoony digital illustrations accompany an engaging biographical narrative with an uplifting message about the payoff of tenacity. Afterword and critical-thinking questions appended. Reading list. Glos.
