A Long Way from Chicago is by Richard Peck. A companion book to A Year Down Yonder, this is the story of Mary Alice and her brother Joe as they leave Chicago to visit their eccentric grandmother in the country. If you can read this book without laughing out loud, there is something wrong with you. Grandma is outlandish, loving, and more community oriented that she would have you believe. A wonderful book, by a witty and amusing author. This book gives you a look at family life in the early to mid 1900s.
Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
