One of the most adored children’s book characters of all time is the eccentric, forceful, bighearted Grandma Dowdel, star of the Newbery Medal―winning A Year Down Yonder and Newbery Honor―winning A Long Way from Chicago. And it turns out that her story isn’t over?not even close. It is now 1958, and a new family has moved in next door to Mrs. Dowdel?a family in desperate need of her help (whether they realize it or not).
