Resize all documents in a book

I'm working on a book that's currently 7x10" and need to make it 8x10".  There are 13 documents in the book, and I wonder if there if a way to resize all the documents as a batch. There was a question about this in 2023 that included a script, but I'm hoping there is something more recent.

The resizing will require different horizontal margins to compensate for the long lines, no change to font size.

Any help appreciated!

Make a copy of the file and resize your pages (and margins if appropriate). If necessary, go to the parent pages(s) and adjust the primary text frame. See what the result is on your pages. 

If that worked, repeat on an actual document in the book and sync your parent pages across the book.
