THIS JUST IN: THE UNIVERSE OF FAIR IS A 2013 BANK STREET COLLEGE BEST CHILDREN'S BOOK!!


Miller Sanford, an engaging eleven year old science whiz tries to show his parents he's responsible enough to enjoy the town fair without parental supervision, but events conspire against him. Instead of a freewheeling fair day, Miller is drawn into a mishap-filled fair day he never imagined, involving a string of tag-along first graders, lemon meringue pie, witch pumpkins and flying death heads!
