A Newbery Honor BookA summer theyll never forget. Each summer Joey and his sister, Mary Alice-two city slickers from Chicago-visit Grandma Dowdels seemingly sleepy Illinois town. Soon enough, they find that its far from sleepy...and Grandma is far from your typical grandmother.

He was the first children’s author ever to have been awarded a National Humanities Medal, and was twice a National Book Award Finalist. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Later, much later, we heard something. . . . We heard a little sawing, singing sound as a file began to slice through screen wire. From the settee Mary Alice made some tiny, terrified sound. Grandma reached down for something in her sewing basket. The darkness made me see pinwheels like sparklers. I just managed to notice Grandma’s rocker was rocking and she wasn’t in it. She was standing over me. “Keep just behind me,” she whispered. I followed her across the room to the kitchen. You wouldn’t believe a woman that heavy could be so light on her feet. She floated, and we moved like some strange beast, big in front, small behind. Now we were by the door to the kitchen, and I heard the scuffle of heavy feet in there on the crinkly linoleum. . . . “Part vaudeville act, part laconic tall tale, the stories, with their dirty tricks and cunning plots, make you laugh out loud at the farce and snicker at the reversals. Like Grandma, the characters are larger-than-life funny, yet Peck is neither condescending nor picturesque. With the tall talk, irony, insult, and vulgarity, there’s also a heartfelt sense of the Depression’s time and place. . . . Many readers will recognize the irreverent, contrary voices of their own family legends across generations.” -Booklist, starred review “Each tale is a small masterpiece of storytelling.” -The Horn Book, starred review The 1999 Newbery Honor Book Also by Richard Peck NOVELS FOR YOUNG ADULTS Amanda/Miranda Are You in the House Alone?
