A kite soars into a crackling sky, a machine builds a spark as tall as a house, and clouds rub together until something reaches back and answers. Iris Fennimore's science story follows lightning from Ben Franklin's famous experiment to the invisible ladder that lets a bolt leap to earth. Best for curious listeners ages six to ten who like knowing how things work. Duncan Winslow reads with the steady patience of a good teacher, pausing just long enough for kids to picture each step before the next spark flies.
