{"product_id":"a-long-way-from-chicago","title":"A Long Way from Chicago","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when Joey and his sister, Mary Alice -- two city slickers from Chicago -- make their annual summer visits to Grandma Dowdel's seemingly sleepy Illinois town? August 1929: They see their first corpse, and he isn't resting easy. August 1930: The Cowgill boys terrorize the town, and Grandma fights back. August 1931: Joey and Mary Alice help Grandma trespass, poach, catch the sheriff in his underwear, and feed the hungry -- all in one day. And there's more, as Joey and Mary Alice make seven summer trips to Grandma's -- each one funnier than the year before -- in self-contained chapters that readers can enjoy as short stories or take together for a rollicking good novel. In the tradition of American humorists from Mark Twain to Flannery O'Connor, popular author Richard Peck has created a memorable world filled with characters who, like Grandma herself, are larger than life and twice as entertaining. Richard Peck lives in New York City.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 130 x 188\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Richard Peck\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780439240925\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 148\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47403322900633,"sku":"Table-F-59780439240925","price":5.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/A_Long_Way_from_Chicago_Richard_Peck.jpg?v=1778755995","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/a-long-way-from-chicago","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
