Without money, William was forced to drop out of school. Fortunately, William found hope in the village library. There, he came up with an idea that would change the lives of the people around him. He would beuild a windmill. made from junkyard scraps, William's amazing creation would bring electricity to his home. It would help his family pump the water they  needed to farm the land. And it would turn this ordinary African teenager into a hero known all around the world as the boy who harnessed the wind." -- Back cover.
