Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Dylan H.

      Every summer Joey and his sister Mary Alice go to their grandmoyher's house. Sounds plain now does it well it isn't. Grandma Dowdel is a top notch Granny. She will do any thing to defend her turf. Be prepared for a lot of humor, mischief, & suspense.
      
      Honestly I would say this is a really good book because of the way grandma handles problems. A Long Way from Chicago is a quality piece of literature even though grandma and the citzens all use old grammar.

     I would say A Long Way from Chicago is recomended for kids ages 10+  who love humor, mischief, & suspense all in one book. Plese understand that the dialect helps give a turn to the plot.
