The class read A Long way From Chicago by Richard Peck. The class finished this book on October 2010. This book is about Joey and Mary Alice. Every summer they go to their grandma and each year grandma does something crazy.
Something that surprised me in this book is that the author made grandma crazy and mysterious. Usually we think of grandmas as kind, but Richard Peck made grandma different. Instead of kind, grandma makes sure that people know that she is not to be bothered. Grandma also doesn't always follow the rules. For example she sneaks into private property and takes someone else's fish!
I liked this book. It is funny, and easy to read. I would recommend this book to other people.
Great post Abbie! Count it.
