Fair Weather

by Richard Peck  |  Grades: 5-8  |  Lexile 730  |  Reading Level 4.7

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.
