About this ebook
When things don't go as planned, do you throw in the towel and call it quits, or do you give it another try? Part of the Driven to Succeed book series, Scientists & Inventors Who Never Gave Up tells the stories of exceptional scientists and inventors who overcame challenges to discover or invent something that changed the world.
Finding success takes perseverance, tenacity, and resilience—all qualities you'll see in the people in this nonfiction book. These scientists and inventors persevered through failure, sometimes repeatedly, to accomplish their goals and achieve success—and you can do it, too!
Motivational Book Features:
- After-reading activities
- Post-reading questions
- Glossary words defined on the pages they appear
