But what do you know about? Did you know that \u003cbr\u003e thousands of people worked in 1461 BCE to build it? Then hundreds more moved it, and erected it in Alexandria, \u003cbr\u003e where it stood for 3,000 years? So how did a monolith weighing over 200 tons get moved all the way to New \u003cbr\u003e York City—and in the 19th Century, no less? \u003cbr\u003e In this historical fiction account by bestselling author Dan Gutman, five kids who watched the Needle at each \u003cbr\u003e phase of its history recount the daring story of how something that seemed to be impossible –and that nearly \u003cbr\u003e ended in disaster—finally succeeded against all odds. \u003cbr\u003e Including photos, diagrams, and illustrations, this book will leave history lovers and fans of problem solving \u003cbr\u003e astounded at all that was accomplished. And best of all, it will leave middle grade readers feeling they’ve just \u003cbr\u003e watched a really good movie—they’ll hardly even realize they were reading. \u003cbr\u003e A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection","brand":"Playaway Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917946142952,"sku":"67684","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/6078\/2568\/files\/9798892747561_ee459fdb-baad-4444-b038-fe3aea84283b.png?v=1766909384","url":"https:\/\/educationmegastore.com\/products\/playaway-67684","provider":"EducationMegaStore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
