Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Great read aloud for upper elementary

    This book will have your students rolling in the aisles!! It's also great for discussing characters traits. But just read it to the kids for enjoyment! Richard Peck is a great kids' author!

    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!
