La joven que podía reparar cualquier cosa : Beatrice Shilling, ingeniera de la Segunda Guerra Mundial (Spanish Edition) / escrito por Mara Rockliff ; ilustraciones de Daniel Duncan ; traducción de Ana Izquierdo.
"Beatrice Shilling no se parecía a otros niños. Era capaz de construir cualquier cosa. Podía arreglar cualquier cosa. Y cuando desarmaba algo, podía armarlo de nuevo y mejor que antes." -- Publisher's marketing.
"Beatrice Shilling wasn't quite like other children. She could make anything. She could fix anything. And when she took a thing apart, she put it back together better than before. When Beatrice left home to study engineering, she knew that as a girl she wouldn't be quite like the other engineers-and she wasn't. She was better. Still, it took hard work and perseverance to persuade the Royal Aircraft Establishment to give her a chance. But when World War II broke out and British fighter pilots took to the skies in a desperate struggle for survival against Hitler's bombers, it was clearly time for new ideas. Could Beatrice solve an engine puzzle and help Britain win the war? American author Mara Rockliff and British illustrator Daniel Duncan team up for a fresh look at a turning point in modern history-and the role of a remarkable woman whose ingenuity, persistence, and way with a wrench (or spanner) made her quite unlike anyone else. An author's note and a list of selective sources provide additional information for curious readers"-- Provided by publisher.
