Newbery Award-winning author tells the story of the man whose inventive genius made cotton king in America as well as the rest of the world.

Eli Whitney transformed the textile industry with his invention of the cotton gin; and he revolutionized the manufacturing process around the world with his creation of standardized parts. Fascinating!

We have read the book twice, and we enjoyed both times.

Fascinating story. My boys looked forward to this story everyday. This book is a great tool to teach perseverance. A great read.

Oh, this book is so good. It just went on and on about his life and why such and such affected his work, because such and such was going on in history. Definitely a "whole story" book that your children could write an essay on when you finish it. GOOD FOR RECALL!!!! And not just about the cotton gin; that boy made muskets, too!
