Product Overview
From Follett
"If the flick of a switch can bring light, what other miracles might be possible? Shmuel is eager to help support his poor family, but no one in town is interested in hiring a ten-year-old boy. One day, the village installs new electric lamps, bringing light to their square, dazzling in the dark. Until a lamp breaks in the middle of a storm--and Shmuel is the only one who can fix it. Will Shmuel be able to conquer his fear of heights and bring light back to the town?"--Provided by publisher.
