    <![CDATA[Mary Alice's childhood summers in Grandma Dowdel's sleepy Illinois town were packed with enough drama to fill the double bill of any picture show.  But now she is fifteen, and faces a whole long year with Grandma, a woman well known for shaking up her neighbors-and everyone else!  All Mary Alice can know for certain is this: when trying to predict how life with Grandma might turn out . . . better not.  This wry, delightful sequel to the Newbery Honor Book <em>A Long Way from Chicago</em> has already taken its place among the classics of children's literature.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I think this is a first. Never before have I read a sequel before reading the original novel. (At least as far as I can recall.) (The <em>Discworld</em> books don't count. They aren't organized in a proper order, are they? You can't call a book a sequel unless it's called a sequel on the cover.)
