Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World's Fair in Chicago, 1893, was to be a spectacular event: architects, musicians, artists, and inventors worked on special exhibits to display the glories of their countries. But the Fair's planners wanted something really special, something on the scale of the Eiffel Tower, which had been constructed for France's fair three years earlier. At last, engineer George Ferris had an idea-a crazy, unrealistic, gigantic idea. He would construct a twenty-six-story tall observation wheel. The planners didn't think it could be done. They called it a "monstrosity." It wouldn't be safe. But George fought for his design. Finally, in December 1892, with only four months to go until the fair, George was given permission to build his wheel. He had to fight the tight schedule, bad weather, and general disapproval. Against all odds, the Ferris Wheel turned out to be the talk of the Fair, and proof that dreaming big dreams could pay off. Today, George's Ferris Wheel is an icon of adventure and amusement throughout the world.

Book excerpt: In 1889, Gustave Eiffel's 984-foot iron tower was the wonder and signature engineering accomplishment of the Paris Universal Exposition.In 1892, a young American civil engineer -responding to a challenge to create a symbolic attraction for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago-proposed erecting a huge steel structure that would have an important characteristic that the Eiffel Tower did not: it would move. George Ferris envisioned a rotating 250-foot steel wheel that would carry more than 2,000 passengers at a time. Many of his fellow engineers doubted Ferris' wheel could be built. Columbian Exposition officials reluctantly granted permission to erect the wheel. In an incredible feat of logistics, Ferris marshalled the efforts of the nation's leading steel mills and fabricating companies to produce the wheel's thousands of component parts and ship them to Chicago for assembly.On June 21, 1893, the Ferris Wheel carried its first paying riders to a vantage point high above the fairgrounds. It quickly became the symbol and one of the most popular attractions of the World's Fair, drawing nearly 1.5 million riders.The Prince of Wheelwrights: George Ferris and His Great Wheel goes beyond the tragically short life story of a successful and innovative civil engineer to present the first thoroughly researched and highly detailed history of the Ferris Wheel itself. Drawing upon contemporary newspaper and magazine sources, as well as Ferris' own words, the book traces the Wheel's thirteen-year existence from its genesis at dinner in a Chicago restaurant to its dynamiting and conversion to scrap metal in St. Louis, Missouri. at the end of a second World's Fair appearance.

Book excerpt: Ten-year-old Star Mackie lives in a trailer park with her flaky mom and her melancholy older sister, Winter, whom Star idolizes. Moving to a new town has made it difficult for Star to make friends, when her classmates tease her because of where she lives and because of her layered blue hair. But when Star starts a poetry club, she develops a love of Emily Dickinson and, through Dickinson’s poetry, learns some important lessons about herself and comes to terms with her hopes for the future. With an unforgettable voice with a lot of heart, Hope Is a Ferris Wheel is the story of a young girl who learns to accept her family and herself while trying to make sense of the world around her. Praise for Hope is a Ferris Wheel STARRED REVIEW "Herrera’s first novel is quite accomplished, with plenty of heart and humor, especially apparent in the spelling assignments Star has to complete but refuses to turn in, as she uses them as a sort of journal. Star is a unique, determined, and loving child making the best of a bad situation; readers cannot help but root for her." --School Library Journal, starred review "Well-constructed, thought-provoking and appealing, this first effort bodes well for the author’s future." --Kirkus Reviews "In her debut, Herrera has created a delightful narrator with a memorable voice and surrounded her with a unique supporting cast. Got fans of Joan Bauer in your neck of the woods? Send them this way." --Booklist "A tender and truthful novel that addresses stereotypes without promising easy answers or cookie-cutter closure." --Publishers Weekly "First-time author Herrera, telling the story from Star’s point of view, gives readers a front-row seat to all the embarrassment and angst of Star’s jumbled life—and all of the triumphs. Here’s hoping we hear more from this author." --The Horn Book Magazine "Star’s contemplation, through poetic metaphors and real-life relationships, of what really matters in her life is compelling. Additionally, the poetry angle offers food for thought for those just coming to understand the power and purpose of metaphor, and Star’s vocabulary assignments, occasionally interspersed between chapters, provide inspiration and entertainment for word-lovers." --Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
