<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Newbery Honor book <p/>Your fortune lies to the west. Keep your face to the sunset . . . and one day you'll ride the greatest wheel in all the world. <p/>When Aunt Honora reads this fortune in his tea leaves, Conn Kilroy knows he is destined for greater things than his small Irish village can offer. A letter from his uncle Michael in America offering Conn a partnership in his New York contracting company sets Conn on his western adventure. Just a few short months later Conn's Uncle Patrick lures him even farther west to Chicago, where they join the hardworking crew building what some called Ferris's Folly-the first Ferris wheel-then the largest wheel in the world and the showpiece of Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Robert Lawson</b> worked as a commercial artist before turning to the world of children's books.
