A Long Way from Chicago: A Novel in Stories by Richard Peck

4.0

I really enjoyed this Newberry Honor Book. Starting in 1929, it tells the story of two kids who spend each summer with their grandmother in Illinois. It's full of quirky characters and happenings and lessons, good lessons about caring for others, interdependence, not judging others just to name a few. I really liked it. Great slice of life stories with heart and a dash of historical fiction. The stories were funny and had some twists I didn't see coming!

Definitely recommend!
