What is A Long Way from Chicago about?
Each summer over the nine years of the Depression, Joey and his sister, Mary Alice-two city slickers from Chicago-make their annual summer visit to Grandma Dowdel’s seemingly sleepy Illinois town. Soon enough, they find that it’s far from sleepy...and Grandma is far from your typical grandmother. From seeing their first corpse (and he isn’t resting easy) to helping Grandma trespass, pinch property, catch the sheriff in his underwear, and feed the hungry-all in one day-Joey and Mary Alice have nine summers they’ll never forget. Richard Peck’s laugh-out-loud funny, episodic novel makes sure that you never will, either!
