Description
Who invented the light bulb? Why, Thomas Edison, of course! But what if you're wrong? What if British scientist Joseph Swan was filing his patents at the same time? You'll be on the edge of your seat as Edison and Swan go head-to-head to create the first working light bulb. Patent battles, lies, cheating, and more fill out this exciting race to fame. You'll never look at a light bulb the same way again!

Person
Susan E. Hamen has been writing and editing children's books for more than twelve years. She currently lives in Belle Plaine, Minnesota, with her husband, Ryan, and her two children, Maggie and Jack. The family shares the house with a very large and lazy orange tabby cat named Oliver, and a petite, well-mannered gray cat named Anya. When not writing, editing, or feeding the cats, Hamen enjoys traveling, reading, spending time in bookstores, drinking hot cocoa with her kids on cold Minnesota nights, and attending musical and sporting events her kids participate in.
