A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck - 130 pages
The Great Depression has hit hard. Mary Alice must move down to live with Grandma Dowdel for the year as her parents have lost their apartment. She will have to go to the small school in that hick town. Will she survive this year?
I really enjoyed this book on audio. The story was interesting as were the characters. I can definitely see why it won the Newbery Award. I would highly recommend this book to those who enjoy historical fiction or humorous stories.
