But whereas Bell is renowned by many for being the smartest man in the world, Eddie is just a local farm boy who struggles to learn to read and write. After a few chance encounters, the elderly Bell befriends the young boy, and takes an interest in his struggle – encouraging Eddie to celebrate his successes and never give up.
When Bell’s long ambition for manned flight culminates in the Silver Dart soaring over Bras d’Or Lake, Eddie is inspired to find solutions to his own challenges.

ReplyDeleteMe & Mr Bell was a very good book so I give it a 9/10. It was a meaningful book because you saw how an ordinary kid like Eddie is just like Mr bell. I liked the part where Eddie used pulleys to move the "unmovable" rock from the field. I also liked the fact that there was kind of a lesson to be learned in this book:if you're not good at one thing (in Eddies case writing) then you're good at another thing. The final thong I liked was Eddie's personality. I think Me & Mr bell is for anyone who wants an inspirational story.

ReplyDeleteI'm rating Me and Mr. Bell a 9/10 because it was a great book even though it was short. I like the way Philip Roy (the author) made Eddie's character, a determined and curious kid. Eddie was smart and nice, but he wasn't perfect. He had trouble reading and writing, but Alexander Graham Bell helped him and Eddie attained his goal to write a letter to Alexander. My favorite parts in the book were when Eddie meets Helen Keller and Alexander Graham Bell, when he moves the big stone in the field with pulleys, and when Eddie saves his dad when a tree fell on him.
