Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor who brought electricity to his Malawian village. 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.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great Paper Towel Holder! Sturdy and Stylish
Color: Black
I’ve been using this paper towel holder for about 6 months now, and I’m very happy with it! The design is sleek and modern, making it a perfect fit for my kitchen. It’s made from durable steel, and I love that the finish still looks brand new after months of use. The best part is how easy it is to replace rolls. I can quickly swap out old rolls without any hassle.
The weighted base and non-slip pad are fantastic features – I’ve accidentally bumped it a few times, and it hasn’t tipped over once. It stays securely in place, which is a huge plus. I also appreciate that it’s versatile enough to fit all paper towel sizes.
Overall, this is a high-quality and functional product that’s also aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a sturdy, easy-to-use paper towel holder!

Perfect!
Color: Warm Gold, Color: Warm Gold
Been using this thing for over a year now and it is fantastic. The color is beautiful and as described. The price was a very good price point. The size is everything you need it to be because it’s nice and sturdy; it holds a big Costco size roll. And the roll actually fits over the top. You don’t have to unscrew it. In love.

Stylish and sturdy paper towel holder
Color: Gold Polished
This gold paper towel holder looks great on my counter and works perfectly. The base is nice and heavy keeping it sturdy, which keeps it from sliding or tipping when I pull off a paper towel. I’ve had no issues with the roll coming loose or falling off, even when grabbing sheets quickly. It’s both functional and elegant. Gives you good value for the money. Definitely worth it if you want something that looks good and stays in place.
