Acerca de esta escucha

What happens when Joey and his sister, Mary Alice - two city slickers from Chicago - make their annual summer visits to Grandma Dowdel's seemingly sleepy Illinois town?

August 1929: They see their first corpse, and he isn't resting easy.
August 1930: The Cowgilll boys terrorize the town, and Grandma fights back with a dead mouse and a bottle of milk.
August 1931: Joey and Mary Alice help Grandma to trespass, pinch property, poach, catch the sheriff in his underwear, and feed the hungry - all in one day.

And there's more - much more - as Joey and Mary Alice make seven summer trips to Grandma's, each one funnier and more surprising than the year before. In the grand storytelling tradition of American humorists from Mark Twain to Flannery O'Connor, Richard Peck has created a memorable world filled with characters who, like Grandma herself, are larger than life and twice as entertaining. And year round, you are sure to enjoy your stay with them.

Enjoyed this very much!

Fun story. I enjoyed this very much. I will recommend to my kids (ages 9-15) to read too. The narrator did a great job.

A truly awesome book!

Richard Peck is wonderful he takes you to another time another way of life! Grandma is a truly amazing character and she teaches her grandchildren a lot each summer! I think she taught my son a few things also when his father read this book and the next book A Year down yonder to him! I know as an adult now it is one of his favorite memories he has of his father!

Great book but...

This is a great book, I loved it. One thing is it has many names and can be confusingat times. You have to have your full full attention to understand it. I would recommend you be around the age 12 to 15. Some of the words are too complex for young children. I personally loved this and would give it all five stars except for those small negative things.

What a great journey back in time

I read this book many years ago and even though The story wasn’t new to me this time around, I still laughed out loud several times throughout this reading. The journey back into some of the history of Illinois was also a pleasure. This book is an eye opener of how we have much to appreciate in these modern times of convenience.

delightful

Small town life with an idiosyncratic Grandma who bends the rules but truly cares and is kind of a “Robin Hood “

FUNNY, GREAT STORIES!

Once I started listening to this book of the yearly adventures to grandma's house, I could not stop. It's a great adventure with laughing out loud humor. Leaves me craving for more. A good listen for all ages and genre. The stories are wonderfully written and the narrator does an excellent job.

Get it, you won't regret it!

From beginning to end, this charming collection of memories from spending the summer at Grandma's house was both funny and touching.

2nd time as good as the first

I read this book several years ago to help my daughter with a school project. I fell in love with a thin. The stories and the comedy are wonderful. The book brought me to tears the 1st time at the end and the 2nd time around was no different. The spoke reminds me of my own grandmother. I recommend it to anyone young and old to read and re read again. The narrator is absolutely phenomenal.

Top 5 best stories

The story itself is amazing. Comedy, family, values, and love all wrapped up in this tale of adolescence observation.
It a great read, but listening to it is even better! The voice performances bring a whole new life to this brilliant book.
