This is the first book in the new William series. William is 16 and has his first job in Chicago. As his German immigrant family prepares for Father’s 40th birthday, William tells the children about chess and the amazing Automaton of 1769. Father and William make plans to hear D. L. Moody at Farwell Hall. When the cousins come for dinner, William recalls the great raising of Chicago on thousands of huge screws.
