THE WORLD HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT! Certainly the three teenagers whose escapades are intertwined in CROSSROADS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR had never seen anything like it: the great World's Columbian Exposition on the lakefront at Chicago in 1893: + DREW, an abused and neglected teenager from western Kentucky, has run away with a circus heading toward the big city. + ONO - mixed-tribal, multi-lingual, and going on 15 - has been brought all the way from western Java to a native village at the Fair. + GALEN, a gawky late-blooming 18-year-old farm-boy from western Iowa, has begun to find himself as he takes part in an evangelistic campaign during the Fair, fostered by the world-famous revivalist D. L. Moody. In CROSSROADS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR, tangled relationships are projected against the glittering backdrop of a great international exposition (featuring the first Ferris wheel). Personal adventures blend with historical events, climaxing in a deadly fire at the Fairgrounds. Through their own decisions, discoveries, and actions, all three teenagers find new directions for their lives after encountering CROSSROADS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Using thorough historical research, veteran author Perry Thomas has created a gripping coming-of-age tale for today's young-adult readers.
