A Year Down Yonder

A Year Down Yonder is by Richard Peck. The sequel to A Long Way from Chicago. In 1937, 15-year-old Mary Alice is going to live with her grandmother for a whole year, maybe more. She is not looking forward to sleeping in the attic or attending the country school. She gets caught up in her grandmother's outrageous schemes and plots and even a few of her own. This book is filled with hilarious adventures and is a stirring story of commitment and love.

Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
