A Long Way From Chicago
by Richard Peck
Even though this book precedes A Year Down Yonder, there is no harm in reading them out of order, as I did, since they are actually quite independent of the other, and have different narrators. But I enjoyed this one just as much. It's actually a series of short stories detailing the adventures of siblings Joey and Mary Alice who spend a week each summer with their feisty grandmother in a small town. Great characters, lots of humor, and more. This book is perfect for both children and adults.
Age recommendation: 10 and up
