In 1893, young Rosie Beckett's world is confined to her family's farm until a letter from Aunt Euterpe offers a chance to visit the Chicago World's Fair. This unexpected journey promises adventure and discovery beyond her wildest dreams. Will Rosie embrace the wonders of the age, or will the bustling fair prove too overwhelming? Join Rosie as she steps into a world of innovation and excitement, where every corner holds a new surprise. The fair is calling, and Rosie's life will never be the same.
From the publisher
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.
