Part of the bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, Nikola Tesla tells the story of the brilliant scientist and inventor who advanced scientific thought by a generation.

From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Nikola
Tesla, the scientist and inventor whose groundbreaking inventions we continue to use today.
Since he was a young boy growing up in the Austrian Empire, Nikola was fascinated by science and numbers. His
teachers knew he had a brilliant mind, but Nikolas irregular routines and fondness for playing cards meant that he was
kicked out of school before he could finish his exams. However, after working for a spell at the Budapest Telephone
Exchange, where he made several clever innovations to their electrical systems, he managed to get a job with Edison
Machine Works in New York, U.S.A. In the United States, Tesla's inquisitive nature and ingenious mind spurred him on to
keep exploring electricity, and he came up with several groundbreaking inventions during this time, including
breakthroughs in alternating current and wireless remote controls. By the end of his life, the brilliant inventor had more
than 300 patents for original and unique inventions, and had advanced scientific thought by a generation. This inspiring
book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical
photos and a detailed profile of the iconic scientists life.
