- "One of the most adored children?s book characters of all time is the eccentric, forceful, bighearted Grandma Dowdel, star of the Newbery Medal?winning A Year Down Yonder and Newbery Honor?winning A Long Way from Chicago. And it turns out that her story isn?t over?not even close.It is now 1958, and a new family has moved in next door to Mrs. Dowdel?a family in desperate need of her help (whether they realize it or not). There?s twelve-year-old Bob, shy on courage in a town full of bullies; his Elvis-obsessed older sister, Phyllis, who just might be on the verge of spinning out of control; Bob?s little sister, Ruth Ann, ready and waiting for a larger-than-life role model; and even Bob?s two parents, the young minister and his wife, who are amazed to discover that the last house in town might also be the most vital.As Christmas rolls around, the whole family will realize that they?ve found a true home, and a neighbor with remarkable gifts to share."@en
- "Overview: One of children's literature's most memorable characters returns in this Christmastime companion to the Newbery Medal-winning A Year Down Yonder and Newbery Honor-winning A Long Way from Chicago. The eccentric, larger-than-life Grandma Dowdel is back in this heart-warming tale. Set 20 years after the events of A Year Down Yonder, 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. 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."
