Capturing an engineer's creative vision and mind for detail, this fully
illustrated picture book biography sheds light on how the American
inventor George Ferris defied gravity and seemingly impossible odds to
invent the world's most iconic amusement park attraction, the Ferris
wheel.
A fun, fact-filled text by Kathryn Gibbs Davis combines with Gilbert
Ford's dazzling full-color illustrations to transport readers to the
1893 World's Fair, where George Ferris and his big, wonderful wheel
lifted passengers to the skies for the first time.
