Publisher Description
Thirteen-year-old Rosie Beckett has never strayed further from her family's farm than a horse can pull a cart. Then a letter from her Aunt Euterpe arrives, and everything changes. It's 1893, the year of the World's Columbian Exposition-the "wonder of the age"-a.k.a. the Chicago World's Fair. Aunt Euterpe is inviting the Becketts to come for a visit and go to the fair! Award-winning author Richard Peck's fresh, realistic, and fun-filled writing truly brings the World's Fair-and Rosie and her family-to life.

"Peck hilariously relates what happens when three farm children take on the 1893 Chicago World's Fair," wrote PW in a starred review. "The unforgettable characters, cunning dialogue and fast-paced action will keep readers of all ages in stitches." Ages 9-12.
