Long before he was a famous founding father, eleven-year-old Ben Franklin had one major obsession: swimming. Ben wanted to glide through the water as swiftly and smoothly as a fish, but his human hands and feet were just not cutting it. Armed with intense curiosity and a willingness to make a massive splash, young Ben set out to solve his underwater problem.
This lively historical tale follows a budding inventor as he tests, fails, and retests his very first creation: wooden swim fins. Through trial and error, Ben learns the core steps of the scientific method and discovers that brilliant ideas often require a few messy mistakes along the way. It is a highly engaging, historical adventure that will inspire young tinkerers to dive into their own wild ideas.
