Inventors

Each page is packed with jaw-dropping facts, with every inventor’s achievements written as a story. From Lizzie Magie, who came up with the idea for the game Monopoly, but had it stolen, to the ancient Turkish polymath Ismail al-Jazari, who decided the best way to power a clock was with a model elephant, to Richard Turere, the Maasai inventor who created a lion-scaring device when he was just 13 years old – the inventors of this book have all used buckets-full of creativity to find ways to improve our world.
