      abstract = {When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny  village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's  crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to  sell. William began to explore science books in his village  library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the  idea that would change his family's life forever: he could  build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle  parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home  and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm  the land. Retold for a younger audience, this exciting  memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's  brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with  photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring  readers up to date on William.},
