Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In recent years, the Young Adult genre has both expanded and matured. Thorndike Press offers this series to make the best of the Young Adult genre available to young readers in Large Print.<P>What happens when Joey and his sister, Mary Alice — two city slickers from Chicago — make their annual summer visits to Grandma Dowdel's sleepy Illinois town? August 1929: They see their first corpse. August 1930: The Cowgill boys terrorize the town. August 1931: They help Grandma to trespass, pinch property, poach, catch the sheriff in his underwear, and feed the hungry — all in one day. Seven trips in all, each one funnier than the year before.
