Year Down Yonder , A

$8.99
Because the Great Depression has affected her parents' finances, 15-year-old Mary Alice must leave her home and spend a year in a small town with Grandma Dowdel. Although Mary Alice is not accepted into the school community quickly, she and Grandma Dowdel have many adventures such as trapping animals for fur; collecting pecans and pumpkins from the neighbors at midnight; baking pies and cherry tarts; surviving a tornado; and outwitting the local boys playing practical jokes on Halloween. As the year progresses, Mary Alice grows to love and respect her grandma for her kindness, down-to- earth determination, and resilience.
