Mary Alice, a middle-class high school girl from Chicago, leaves the big city to spend 1937 in rural Illinois with her rough-around-the-edges and unconventional grandmother.
The zany, adventure-filled experience is not only eye-opening for Mary Alice, but heart-warming and hilarious for readers as well. Pb.
