Fair Weather (2001)
by Richard Peck

Fun and funny historical fiction that takes place right her in Chicago.
Rosie and her family live in a rural Illinois. They are invited to spend the week with a wealthy relative in Chicago and enjoy the 1893 World's Fair. There they experience a long list of firsts: first Ferris Wheel, first Cracker Jacks, first electric outdoor lighting and much more. Richard Peck is one of our favorite authors.
