Short old fashioned story. Nice read for a day at the beach.

Illustrated with photos from the 1893 Columbian Exposition/Chicago World's Fair. Three children and their ornry gramps travel to Chicago for the Fair and to visit their widowed aunt/daughter. All have life-changing experiences. A great companion to Devil in the White City.

Richard Peck is a wonderful author who delights Adults and children alike with his imaginative stories! Try A Year Down Yonder and A Long Way From Chicago! They are my favorites.
