This is the autobiographical account of William Kamkwamba's life in drought-stricken Malawi. When William was 14, his family -- who farmed for a living -- began to feel the impacts of the drought and the lack of food as a result. William felt he should do something and was curious about "electric wind." Thus began his quest to discover all he could about this form of energy. Using borrowed library books and items from junk piles, he began to build a windmill. This is a story of his determination and perseverance to do something to change the life of his family and the lives of those in his village.
