Cada día significaba un nuevo desafío para el joven Lonnie Johnson: el desafío de encontrar espacio para sus cosas. Los seis hermanitos Johnson vivían muy apretados en la pequeña casa de sus padres, en Mobile, Alabama. A Lonnie le hubiera encantado tener su propio taller, pero no había lugar. No había dónde guardar sus piezas para hacer cohetes...
disparadores de bambú...armas con bandas elásticas...partes del Erector...motor de kart...pernos, tornillos y otros repuestos sueltos que su papá le había dejado sacar del cobertizo, además de muchas otras cosas que había traido de la chatarrería.
A Lonnie le encantaba construir y crear. Las ideas para inventar cosas no le dejaban de aparecer.
