Written by awardwinning author Megan Hoyt, this thoughtful STEM picture book biography about the brilliant architect of Grand Central Terminal is a celebration of resilience in the face of adversity, creative problem solving, and, of course, trains!There was once a place in New York City that had a tennis club, movie theater, and art galleryall in the same building! It also had a secret passageway, a huge library, and even a ski slope.This astounding building is Grand Central Terminal, and it was the work of one brilliant man: William J. Wilgus. When William, an experienced engineer, wanted to create a new electricpowered train system, he knew he needed to house this special fleet somewhere exceptional. His grand idea of a solution?

Wilgus and his crowning achievement in this STEMoriented picture book biography, with whimsical illustrations by Dave Szalay.
