This Newbery Award winning novel takes students from the city of Chicago to the countryside of the American Midwest during the Great Depression with two siblings who are sent to visit their grandmother each summer.


📖 Why this course will benefit your reader:
This story offers rich opportunities for young readers to explore historical fiction, understand different points of view, and connect emotionally with characters. Students will develop stronger reading stamina and literary insight—plus, Grandma Dowdel’s antics make reading fun!


🔍 What to expect:
Readers will participate in chapter discussions about the characters and the key antics in each chapter- along the way readers will be inferring, finding evidence, expanding their vocabulary, and making connections to historical events. 

 Expect laughter, thoughtful conversation, and deeper understanding of family, community, and history.

Let the storytelling begin!

Otros detalles

Orientación para padres
This book is historical fiction, but does bring up discussions on death, lies, and family struggles. Students in the class will be directed to stay on topic in the classroom and reminded that they can have discussions with their family about the text also. All students are asked to be respectful when discussing the different eccentric actions of the grandmother in the story. The very nature of the story leads to a discussion on making good and bad choices, as well as people's ideas of what was appropriate in the 1930s, that would not be appropriate today.
