Description

Mary Alice’s summer days spent in Grandma Dowdel’s hick town had been packed with enough surprises & drama to fill the double bill of any picture show. But now she is 15 & facing a whole year with Grandma, a woman well known for shaking up the local populace. and all Mary Alice can know for certain is this: When trying to predict how life with Grandma might turn out . . . better not. Richard Peck crafts a worthy successor to his Newbery Honor-winning “A Long Way from Chicago” in this richly entertaining story. With its masterfully interwoven tales of moonlit adventures, lovesick maidens, & fools made to suffer in unusual (& always hilarious) ways, it’s a year readers will want to return to time & again. A Newbery Medal winner.
