Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Keela

The book we are reading is an excellent book for children because its a fun book. Grandma is a funny character who is always doing silly and crazy things. And thats what kids love to read.

I like to read stories about older days so I learn about how it was in the eighteen hundreds through the nineteen hundreds. The kid's Joey and Mary Alice go to live with their grandma over the summers and while they are there they have a few exciting times with Grandma.

The first character Joey: in the beginning of the story he seems kind of like a quiet kid. He is about seven years old. But towards the end of the book he is about fifteen and still like to go visit grandma Dowdell. Joey has a younger sister named Mary Alice: in the beginning I suppose she is five and is quite a talkative young lady. But as the years go on she is about thirteen now. And Grandma: Is a big older lady who lives alone until Mary Alice and Joey come every summer. Grandma is very sly and sneaky. She likes to trick and mess with people. But when Mary Alice and Joey come I think every year they become more like her. They live in the city but when they go to grandmas house they have to walk everywhere. And use the bathroom outside.

In the beginning I think they think grandma is a little crazy but as the years pass they come to like her.
