Do you ever get too old for your parent to embarrass you? Just when Rose thinks the only fun this summer will be watching her older sister pine over her suitor (maybe boyfriend if the parents ever agree), a letter from her aunt inviting them to Chicago for the 1893 World's Fair comes in the mail. Her aunt stated that Rose's grandfather is not invited and her parents' world revolves around the county farm, so Rose knows that her aunt's kind offer will be turned down. Rose and her aunt get more surprises that summer because Grandpa is more headstrong and has a more interesting past than anyone ever knew. If you like the other books by Richard Peck, you will enjoy the ride and never see the ending coming. The world of 1893 Americans is not like ours, so which one would you like to live in? Let me know your answer.
