I am looking for a book which will interest a 12 year old kid who is
fascinated by things mechanical.
 
The kind of kid who used to take clocks apart and put them back together
still working (when that was possible), build a telescope or put
together a radio, that sort of thing.
 
I remember seeing such a book and wishing I'd had it when I was twelve
myself, but I don't recall the name or author.
 
As for myself, that clock never worked again, so I'm not much of a
mentor here.

My son is an engineer, and 4 of my nieces/nephews are also engineers,
and when they were young, every one of them loved the book "The Way
Things Work" by David Macaulay. I'm just a math guy, but I enjoyed
flipping through it as well.

In looking for that title, I see he has also written a second book
called "The New Way Things Work". I am unfamiliar with that book.

Coming soon "That Should Have Worked!"

I am waiting for "The Way Things Would Have Worked If GM Hadn't Screwed
Them Up."
