Description
Book SynopsisWinner of the Newbery Medal “Peck charms readers once again with this entertaining sequel to A Long Way from Chicago”—School Library Journal (starred review)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. 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. Expect moonlit schemes, romances both foiled and founded, and a whole parade of fools made to suffer in unusual (and always hilarious) ways.
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.
