Fun with Grandma!
The great depression sends Mary Alice to Southern Illinois,
a place very different from her home in Chicago. It takes Mary Alice forever to
get used to her grandma’s town and even the ways of grandma herself! Grandma always
gets her way. From bending rules, to breaking laws, Grandma gets what she likes, usually to the benefit of her fellow townspeople. A Year Down Yonder is a humorous
story about an ordinary girl in an unfamiliar town, getting to know her amazing
grandma.
During book club, we discussed what it would be like to be
an outsider, and if there was ever a time when we had felt like one. I’m sure
Mary Alice would have been happy to know that she is not the only one who has
felt like an outsider! All in all, A Year Down Yonder is a pretty good book. It
is an easy read that will bring you laughter.
