Fair Weather

Key Features Description Told by 13-year-old Rosie, this marvelously funny story set in 1893 paints a picture of a small Illinois farm and of the first World's Fair. The Becketts rarely venture off their farm, except for Granddad, who journeys into town each day on the pretense of running errands. This cantankerous old man, whose antics steal the show, has a soft spot and a past that he keeps close to his chest. Adventures abound when Rosie and her siblings Lottie and Buster, accompanied by their eccentric granddad, leave their farm and head off to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
