Author Scott MacGregor and illustrator Gary Dumm tell the intersecting stories of a brilliant African American inventor, Ben Beltran (based on the real-life Garrett Morgan, Sr.), desperate immigrants tunneling beneath Lake Erie, and corrupt overseers who risk countless lives for profit. As historical fiction, Fire on the Water sheds light not only on one of America's earliest man-made ecological disasters but also on racism and the economic disparity between classes in the Midwest at the turn of the century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott MacGregor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419741160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419741166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Comicarts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2020 pg. 35","brand":"Scott MacGregor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987408879871,"sku":"9781419741166","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_606ee39b-68c3-4bdf-ba5e-a0bbfdb10fcc.jpg?v=1683288813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fire-on-the-water-scott-macgregor-9781419741166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
