Whoosh!: Lonnie Johnson's Super-Soaking Stream of Inventions by Chris BartonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Once upon a time I was a counselor at resident camp. We had a lot of international counselors at camp. One week we went to the store on our off time. They found the super soakers which they didn't have in their home countries. They were like kids in the candy shop with all of the different kinds. That next week we had an end of the camp party like never before with water being sprayed everyone and the screams of laughter being heard all over the Sassafras river.
This book took me right back there to that summer but it also opened a window into the dedication of Lonnie Johnson's long path to getting the super soaker made.
