The Universe of Fair

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Frank W. Dormer. Eleven-and-a-half-year-old Miller's utterly believable wish to explore his town's fair on his own is thwarted first by adults and then by responsibility for his younger sister and her friends. A mistakenly eaten pie and a possible ghost add mild suspense, but the preteen's smallest concerns are the most identifiable and add the most humor. Rudimentary line drawings feel younger than the novel's characters.
