QUEENS, N.Y. - May 13, 2014 - PRLog -- Queens native Demetra Tsavaris Lecourezos introduces her new children's book and series, YOUNG WORLD TRAVELERS and the MAGICAL CRYSTAL GLOBE, this Sunday, May 18th, at the 1939/1964 World's Fair Anniversary Festival in Queens, New York.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

With a Magical Crystal Globe, where would you go?

A group of friends from a small Florida town set off on an adventure to New York, using their imaginations and Mrs. Eva’s Magic Crystal Globe. “Close your eyes . . .” she says.

Imagine . . .

Poof ! The Young World Travelers are in Queens, New York, for their first Magical Crystal Globe adventure, where they visit famous sites, such as the Queens County Farm, a civil war fort, and Flushing Meadows, the site of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs!

They ride a train, a covered wagon, and a classic car to their various destinations, sometimes even dressed in the clothing of the times! Suddenly faraway places are not so far, and history meets the present in a colorful display of imagination.

Will you become a Young World Traveler too?
