After learning about the Seven Wonders of the World, Eben McAllister wanted to leave his small town, Sassafras Springs, MO, to see the World. When he informs his Pa of his plan, Eben’s Pa challenges him to find Seven Wonders right in his own small town. If Eben can find seven wonders in seven days in Sassafras Springs, his Pa will buy him a train ticket out West to visit his cousins and see mountains. This story takes place in small town Missouri in 1923. This is a wonderful, wholesome story about the wonders that surround us in our own town. Join Eben on his journey around Sassafras Springs and see what he discovers.
