  • A MUST-READ and CRACK UP for GRANDMAS!

    A Long Way From Chicago by Richard Peck is a rare treasure. It is marketed to school children, but Grandma Dowdel is so well-defined: covert humanitarian, justice-seeker, slightly shady (for justice-seeking purposes only). Its most appreciative audience is 40+ women. The book details the summer week-long visits of Mary Alice and her brother to Grandma's house. It's lucky these two visit, or we may never have become aware of G-ma's antics, always worth our attention. You will also want to read its sequel, A Year Down Yonder, set in mid depression 1937, in which Mary Alice is sent to live with her mother's feared mother-in-law during her junior year. Hilarious, rich in mid-western depression era culture, and easy to read, you will want to write to Richard and beg for more!

  • a story of simpler times

    A great author who can really bring his characters to life!
