(1) 4-6 In this companion to A Year Down Yonder and A Long Way from Chicago, twelve-year-old Bob Barnhart's family moves next door to Grandma Dowdel (Mrs. Dowdel to them). Her tricks and pranks, coupled with thorough knowledge of the town's citizens, provide as much amusement as ever. Irascible, independent, and unorthodox, Grandma Dowdel has entered that rare pantheon of unforgettably great characters.
