Book description
Life in Sassafras Springs has always been predictable, boring even, but
one afternoon that changes when Eben McAllister's pa challenges him to
find Seven Wonders in Sassafras that rival the real Seven Wonders of the
World. The reward? An adventure that Eben's been craving -- a trip to
Colorado.
Even doesn't think he'll have any luck -- he can't think of one
single thing that could be considered wondrous in Sassafras -- but
he's willing to try. Little does he know that the Wonders he'll
discover among his neighbors, friends, relatives, and family will give
him the adventure of a lifetime...without ever leaving his home.
"Perfect for reading aloud."
