      About This Book

      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
