A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck


One of the few times that the sequel is better than the first book. Sequel to A Long Way from Chicago can be read alone. The Great Depression had forced Mary Alice to move in with her grandmother since her parents have no money. Granny in the summer is just a warm up for rest of the year. From getting even with those who tip outhouses to a snake mixed with an out-of-town artist, you never know what grandma will do next. But you never know that going somewhere you think will ruin your life brings you to a place that you meet a person that will change your life. Quick read for those who need one.
