Grandma Dowdel's back! She's just as feisty and terrifying and goodhearted as she was in Richard Peck's A Long Way from Chicago, and every bit as funny. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. “Wit, gentleness, and outrageous farce.”- Booklist (starred review) “Audience members will breathe a sigh of regret when the eventful year "down yonder" draws to a close.”- Publishers Weekly (starred review) School Library Journal Best Books of the Year Wise, exuberant, and slyly heartwarming, this is a satisfying companion to Grandma Dowdel’s adventures in A Long Way from Chicago and A Season of Gifts. Expect moonlit schemes, romances both foiled and founded, and a whole parade of fools made to suffer in unusual (and always hilarious) ways.
Now they're back for more astonishing, laugh-out-loud tales when fifteen-year-old Mary Alice moves in with her spicy grandmother for the year. It was within the pages of Richard Peck's Newbery Honor-winning A Long Way from Chicago that Mary Alice and Grandma Dowdel first made their captivating debut. “Peck charms readers once again with this entertaining sequel to A Long Way from Chicago”- School Library Journal (starred review)
