It's the most fabulous sight the girls have ever seen....the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, with its dazzling electric lights and incredible sights, sounds, smells, and crowds. But in the chaos of the White City, twelve-year-old Dora Pomeroy yearns for Nebraska and the secure life she left behind.
