A Year Down Yonder

Peck, Richard. (2002). A Year Down Yonder. New York: Puffin.
This book is the sequel to A Long Way From Chicago.  Mary Alice has to go live with her Grandma Dowdel this time for a year, and without her brother Joey. Mary Alice has to attend school.  Being from the big town of Chicago, other kids already don't like her and when she gets on the bad side of a bully, life might get tough.  But grandma is up to her old tricks again...

I seriously laughed out loud and the happenings in this one.  Grandma is a hoot!  The way she gets back at others without them knowing it is priceless.  What a great read!
