Mary Alice and Grandma Dowdel return for more astonishing, laugh-out-loud adventures when fifteen-year-old Mary Alice moves in with her spicy grandmother for the year. Her extended visit is filled with moonlit schemes, romances both foiled and founded, and a whole parade of fools made to suffer in unusual (and always hilarious) ways.
Wise, exuberant, and slyly heartwarming, Mary Alice's story is a fully satisfying companion to the celebrated A Long Way from Chicago.

This was a delightful coming of age story about a young girl who is sent to live with her gruff grandmother during the Depression. It has nostalgic references to old-fashioned values and ideas. Short and sweet.
Enjoyable, Quaint

This was quite enjoyable - plenty of plot without being too weighty, holds the interest, and not too long.
