Yet Another Newberry book
I've been reading a number of children's books as well as enjoying books set in the past, and A Year Down Yonder
was both! Mary Alice is sent to live with her grandmother in a small town, very different from the Chicago city life to which Mary Alice has grown accustomed. Small-town happenings are quite different, and Mary Alice soon adjusts, which is hard because everyone in town is scared of her grandmother!

I love this series. Have you read the prequel A Long Way From Chicago? The first chapter of that book had me busting a gut laughing. I swear I know Grandma from somewhere...
I loved Grandma, too! I haven't read the first book, but I want to! I have so many books on my to be read pile at the moment, though!
