The Scientific American Boy; Or, the Camp at Willow Clump Island

The Scientific American Boy; Or, the Camp at Willow Clump Island

A. Russell Bond

Adventure, Children & Young Adult Reading, Novels

There is a particular breed of American boy, now nearly extinct, who believed that curiosity was a virtue and that the natural world was the greatest laboratory imaginable. This is his book. Bill is fourteen, pocketful of string and wire,头脑里装满了各种发明。当他与土木工程师的叔叔埃德叔叔在运河上滑冰时,他已经开始设计独特的装置来解决他们遇到的问题。故事发生在威尔洛普岛的一个夏令营,比尔和他朋友们成立了一个致力于科学探索和冒险的协会。贯穿全书的是一种愉快的信念:做一个有创造力的孩子,建造东西,尝试实验,从失败中学习,这不是浪费时间, 这是美国精神的核心。对于今天被屏幕包围的年轻读者来说,这本书就像一扇通往过去的窗户,在那里,真正的冒险意味着用双手建造,用头脑思考。
