This amazing story of Nikola Tesla’s life is written in lyrical verse alongside stunning illustrations.

This magical story will inspire curious minds! Through beautiful words and colourful graphics this text paints a clear picture of Nikola Tesla, his life and his scientific impact in the field of electricity. A very cleverly designed biography of someone who changed the world we live in and the illustrations are exquisite.

For all of Tesla’s immense accomplishments, this story most of all connects us to his humanity, his creativity and his humility. This book is an easy read for children who are curious about groundbreaking inventions and learning about people who have changed our world. The final four pages of authors notes are a great summary of information to access to find out facts and information about Nikola Tesla and his legacy.

A great non-fiction addition to the text, which could be used in lots of ways in the classroom to support learning. An easy read for children aged 7-11 and something that could be read aloud and shared with a group easily.

Katherine Woodfine’s bestselling debut novel. A fast-paced historical mystery adventure for readers aged 9+, with gorgeous Edwardian period detail. Perfect for fans of Enid Blyton, Chris Riddell’s Goth Girl and Robin Stevens’ Murder Most Unladylike series.
