Magical Journey: A New England family's cross-country trip through 1952 America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798387826146)

Magical Journey is the story of Ricky, a thirteen-year-old minister's son, who is forced to move from his comfortable home in Maine when his father is called to a new church in New Hampshire. His dad, who is also a professional magician, takes the family on a seven-month cross-country journey in a converted school bus to all forty-eight states in 1952 America. Ricky is unhappy about moving until his next-door neighbor, the local newspaper editor, offers him an opportunity that allows him to grow in unexpected ways and learn what makes America magical.
