{"product_id":"a-long-way-from-chicago-1","title":"A Long Way from Chicago- USED CC","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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kicks Mix Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47787094704291,"sku":"0439240921","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/6831\/6835\/files\/9780439240925.jpg?v=1781802818","url":"https:\/\/kicksmixbooks.store\/products\/a-long-way-from-chicago-1","provider":"Kicks Mix Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
