The Seven Wonders of Sassafras Spring


The Seven Wonders of Sassafras Spring by Betty Birney Atheneum

The Seven Wonders of Sassafras Springs by Betty G. Birney is a book with an old-fashioned, folk-tale feel. Eben is fascinated by the seven wonders of the world, and his father challenges him to find seven wonders right in his small, rural home town of Sassafras Springs. Eben doubts that it is possible, but his father says that he can travel to Colorado if he manages to find all seven wonders in seven days.

I think kids will really connect to this book and may even want to try to find seven wonders in their own area. I think students at Zolfo Springs would especially get a kick out of it because the names of towns are similar!
