About this title

Synopsis

The Boy Mechanic goes back in time to save the earth…and our future.

 

Adventure, nostalgia, FUN! The latest captivating title in the popular Boy Mechanic series returns to a simpler time when recycling, repurposing, and “repair, not replace,” were a part of everyday life. Back then, no one spoke about “going green”—they just did it as a matter of course.  The Boy Mechanic Saves the World (One Project at a Time) comes from that era, and presents eco-friendly, thrifty, and really cool activities. From turning ketchup bottles into nifty soap dispensers and building a window greenhouse for plants to making a power-generating windmill, it features useful and entertaining shortcuts for conserving our resources.

This title continues the very successful series, developed from early and mid-20th-century issues of Popular Mechanics, that celebrates American ingenuity and the can-do spirit.
