In this
sequel to A LONG WAY FROM CHICAGO (A Newbery Honor Book in 1999),
set during the Great Depression, 15-year-old Mary Alice leaves her
Chicago home to spend a year with her feisty --- and often funny ---
Grandma Dowdel in Grandma's small Illinois town. As the connected
stories in this book unfold, Mary Alice comes to see the warm and
loving side of her eccentric relative, and readers meet a cast of
characters they won't soon forget.
