I rarely can read more than 1 or 2 books by an author, but Richard Peck is a must read. If you think you have a weird grandma, just meet Joey's. Joey lives in Chicago during the Al Capone days but sees his 1st dead body in his grandma's living room. Each summer brings a new adventure for Joey and his sister Mary Alice. Summer with grandma is never dull especially when she thinks not all laws apply to her. This runner-up for the Newbery is a fun read even if you don't really like historical fiction.
