Reach for this book when your child is constantly taking apart the toaster or dreaming of their next big invention. It speaks to the brilliant but impulsive young mind that needs to understand the weight of responsibility that comes with great talent. This classic tale follows Rob, a boy who accidentally summons the Demon of Electricity and receives high-tech gifts that challenge his ethics and maturity. While written over a century ago, the themes of technological ethics and the unintended consequences of power remain incredibly relevant. It is a perfect choice for parents wanting to move beyond simple hero stories to explore the moral grey areas of science. The story encourages children to think about how their creations impact others, making it an excellent bridge between pure fantasy and real-world science ethics for elementary and middle schoolers.
