My review is on the book, “A Long Way From Chicago.” This book takes place from 1929 until 1942. I didn’t realize this until the last chapter when I decided to look at the chapter title. It’s about a boy and a girl that head to their grandma’s house out in the middle of nowhere and go on wild adventures. Their grandma had them trespass, see the sheriff in his tidy whites, and feed the homeless in all in one day. This is the only book where two 103 year olds fight over a war that happened 90 years ago from the day that they fought. There really isn’t a beginning, middle, and end type of book. You will have to read this book to hear about all the great adventures they go on. This book is intended for 10-13 year olds. The Kirkus Reviews says “It’s a novel that skillfully captures the nuances of small-town life, elderly man reminisces about his annual trips from Chicago to his grandma’s house in rural Illinois during The Depression.”
