Great Wheel Book

I really enjoyed this historical fiction!

Learn about the vision and construction of the first Ferris Wheel. It was quite the engineering feat and one in which all of the engineers of its day thought wouldn't work - all except George Washington Gale Ferris. He had the vision and the brains to figure out just how to present the world with a ride they would never forget!

Told from the point of view of an Irish immigrant who worked on the wheel from start to finish, this book will be a fun read for the entire family!

Ages: 7 - 13

Cleanliness: an aunt reads a fortune in some tea leaves and it comes true for her nephew; so you'll want to be ready for a conversation with your kids.

**Like my reviews? Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. With each review, I provide a Cleanliness Report, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you're 100+ pages in, so here's my attempt to help you avoid that!

So Follow or Friend me here on GoodReads! You'll see my updates as I'm reading and know which books I'm liking and what I'm not finishing and why. You'll also be able to utilize my library for looking up titles to see whether the book you're thinking about reading next has any objectionable content or not. From swear words, to romance, to bad attitudes (in children's books), I cover it all!
