A Newbery Medal Winner
Richard Peck's Newbery Medal-winning sequel to A Long Way from Chicago
Mary Alice's childhood summers in Grandma Dowdel's sleepy Illinois town
were packed with enough drama to fill the double bill of any picture
show. But now she is fifteen, and faces a whole long year with Grandma,
a woman well known for shaking up her neighbors-and everyone else! All
Mary Alice can know for certain is this: when trying to predict how life
with Grandma might turn out . . . better not. This wry, delightful
sequel to the Newbery Honor Book A Long Way from Chicago has already
taken its place among the classics of children's literature.
Hilarious and poignant. --Publishers Weekly, starred review
