Description
America is ready for a party.
It's July 4, 1876, and Walter Fisk is celebrating America's one hundredth birthday in his new home in Minneapolis. These are exciting times, but they also have their difficulties for Walter. Minneapolis isn't as advanced as his former hometown of Cincinnati, and his new neighbors, many of whom came to America from Sweden, have manners and customs that are unusual to Walter.
When Walter's cousin Polly Stevenson introduces him to Grand LaPierre, Walter finally finds a friend in Minneapolis. They share an interest in the game of "base ball," but Grant has a secret he doesn't want to share with Walter. Will Walter ever learn Grant's secret? Can Polly help Walter adjust to life in Minneapolis? And as America celebrates its Declaration of Independence, will everyone be able to celebrate freedom?
