Synopsis
In 1877 a young man developed a way to reproduce sounds so they could be heard again and again. This young man, Thomas Edison, has since been heralded as one of the world's greatest inventors. This inspiring biography details the creation of Edison's favorite invention, the phonograph. Young readers will also discover that Edison did not allow his handicap (he was hard of hearing) to slow him down.

About the Author

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- In a clear and lively style, Mitchell relates just how shy and inept a student Edison was, and highlights his struggle to become a success. The development of the phonograph is given ample coverage, while the inventor's other major creations are listed in the back. A short bibliography and a dozen black-and-white sketches complete the book. Because the material is neither new nor an improvement on existing works, purchase and use will be predicated on the number of other titles available in library collections. --Sharon L. Godfrey, Whisconier Middle School, Brookfield Center, CT
