For over eight hundred years, a strange and marvelous tower has stood in the Italian city of Pisa-tilted, crooked, and yet unbroken. Generations have traveled from around the world to see it with their own eyes, puzzled by the same question: how can a building lean so far and not fall?

This book brings the incredible story of the Leaning Tower to life for curious readers ages 7 to 12. From the bustling city Pisa once was, to the ambitious plans of its builders, to the shocking discovery that the ground beneath was too soft, kids will uncover how an ordinary bell tower became one of the world's most famous landmarks. They'll meet the workers who laid its first stones, the engineers who tried to correct its tilt, and the modern scientists who finally saved it for the future. Along the way, they'll discover lessons about mistakes, persistence, and creativity that still inspire people today.
