In Yazan and the Wobbly Foundations, young readers join a curious 10-year-old boy named Yazan, who has a deep fascination with soil, maps, and how the land behaves. When cracks appear in a new construction project, engineers scramble to find the problem. But it’s Yazan—using only a stick, sharp observation, and his love of geology—who uncovers the truth: the foundations are failing because of unstable soil. Guided by his Uncle Omar, a geotechnical engineer, Yazan helps propose a solution that saves the entire project. With teamwork, science, and curiosity, this story introduces children to the exciting world beneath their feet—where real engineering begins!
