When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land. Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.

It focuses on how WIlliam Kamwamba tries to make a windmill from scraps even though he could not continue going to school. When William’s tiny village in Malawi, Africa, was struck by a horrendous famine, he and family could barely feed each other due to the loss of crops, leave alone paying for school. Forced to drop out of school, William found a library book that gave him a huge idea - he could build a windmill for power made out of scraps and not only could it help his family, but it could also help the village. It is truly a story about an inspiring boy that changed many lives. It takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion with a lot of twists and turns. “I tried and I succeeded” is one of the best quotes. The problem and the words William Kamkawamba used were so realistic, it made the book come alive. I recommend it for people who want to hear about overcoming problems, a different culture, and a hero’s journey. People from ten and beyond should read this. I rate this a 5/5 book because of its plot and word of choice. I really liked the ending of the book when he described what he changed. Also it gave me an important realization of how people struggle to get education. If you read this, you will be inspired. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, Young Reader's Edition - A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story - The Unteachables --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/22122028-the-boy-who-harnessed-the-wind-young-readers-edition](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/22122028-the-boy-who-harnessed-the-wind-young-readers-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
