Have you ever ridden a Ferris Wheel? Do you know who created it? George Ferris's wheels can be found around the world today, but it wasn't an easy path to turn his idea into a reality. Readers will love learning the story behind the name as they follow along with George's beginnings in civil engineering, the trouble he had convincing people the Ferris Wheel could be safe, and his eventual world-renowned success.
