HTML:<b>One of children's literature's most memorable characters returns in this Christmastime companion to the Newbery Medal-winning <i>A Year Down Yonder</i> and Newbery Honor-winning <i>A Long Way from Chicago</i>.</b><br /> The eccentric, larger-than-life Grandma Dowdel is back in this heart-warming tale. Set 20 years after the events of <b><i>A Year Down Yonder</i></b>, it is now 1958 and a new family has moved in next door: a Methodist minister and his wife and kids. Soon Grandma Dowdel will work her particular brand of charm on all of them: ten-year-old Bob Barnhart, who is shy on courage in a town full of bullies; his two fascinating sisters; and even his parents, who are amazed to discover that the last house in town might also be the most vital.<br /> As Christmas rolls around, the Barnhart family realizes that they've found a true home, and a neighbor who gives gifts that will last a lifetime.<br /> <br /> "Pitch-perfect prose, laced with humor and poignancy, strong characterization and a clear development of the theme of gifts one person can offer make this one of Peck's best novels yet—and that's saying something."—<i>Kirkus</i> (starred review)<br /> <br /> "The type of down-home humor and vibrant characterizations Peck fans have come to adore re-emerge in full."—<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)<br /> <br /> "With a storyteller's sure tone, Peck has once again created a whole world in one small Illinois town, a place where the folksy wisdom and generosity of one gruff old woman can change lives."—<i>School Library Journal</i> (starred review)<br /> <br /> <i>Publishers Weekly</i> Best Books of the Year<br /> <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> Best Books of the Year<br /> <i>Booklist</i> Editors' Choice<br />.
