Flash! Boom! Bang! Zzzzzztt! Zzzzzztt! "I've got it!" Benjamin Franklin once said. Benjamin Franklin was the man brave enough to discover electricity. This book took place in what we call Colonial times. They lived nothing like us today. They used to make beds warm instead of colder. Benjamin married a young lady he loved so much and they had three children and loved them all.

Benjamin also had an almanac that he wrote in and it was called Poor Richard's Almanac and his pen name was Poor Richard.
