An adaptation of Jill Jonnes''s riveting history of the Eiffel Tower and the 1889 World''s Fair in Paris is sure to capture the imagination of young readers.
Weaving together the behind-the-scenes history of the Eiffel Tower with an account of the 1889 World''s Fair in Paris for which the tower was built, Jonnes creates a vivid, lively pageant of people and cultures meeting - and competing. The book opens a window into a piece of the past that, in its passions and politics, feels timelessly modern: art, science, business, entertainment, gossip, royalty, and national pride mingle in an unforgettable portrait of a unique moment in history, when Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley became the toasts of Paris and Gustave Eiffel, builder of the tower, rose to the pinnacle of fame, only to suffer a tragic fall from grace. The drama, colour, and personalities that made the adult book so fascinating and critically acclaimed, are all here in spades as adapted for middle grade and above by Rebecca Stefoff.
