Not as interesting as "A long way from Chicago" or "A year down yonder", and it took a while for me to get interested, but once it got going it was a very engaging story with a touching ending.
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.
