Sequel to the 1999 Newbery Honor winner 'A Long Way From Chicago'.
In the autumn of 1937 the Depression has only just lifted, and Mary Alice is leaving Chicago to live with her formidable Grandma Dowdel. And now that her big brother, Joey, has flown the nest, Mary Alice is all on her own with Grandma - a scary prospect.
Starting at the local school is tough - Mary Alice feels homesick and out of place. Living with Grandma's explosive nature is harder still. But the good times are the best she's known, and Mary Alice comes to realise that she and Grandma have more in common then she thought . . .
