Oh my goodness!!!
As I read this little book, I laughed out loud!
A Long From Chicago by Richard Peck was recommended recently by a friend. It is the charming tale of two children from Chicago whose parents force them to spend a week each summer with their grandmother who lives in a tiny little town in rural Illinois. Each chapter is one summer's tale starting in the year 1929.
Wikkipedia says,
A Long Way from Chicago is a "novel in stories" (or short story cycle) by Richard Peck. It was awarded the Newbery Honor in 1999. Peck's sequel to this book, A Year Down Yonder, won the Newbery Medal for children's literature in 2001.
Goodreads says,
Join Joey and his sister Mary Alice as they spend nine unforgettable summers with the worst influence imaginable--their grandmother!
You'll find this special little read in the teen section of your library. Have fun!!!!!
Love ya'll,

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you’re just a mother.
The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.
