Long Way From Chicago: Novel-Ties Study Guide

By Richard Peck

Summary of A Long Way From Chicago Joey and Mary Alice aren’t your average kids. They spend a week at their Grandma’s every year, and year after year they pick up more and more characteristics of their Grandma. They didn’t like going to their Grandma’s every year because she frightened them too much. For instance, their first summer with her she blew the top off a dead guy's coffin and acted like he had come alive just to scare away the visitors. Another time was when she took them fish trapping, but that was illegal and it wasn’t even her boat.But their Dad sent them down to their Grandma’s house every year for seven years. So they had no choice but to spend a week with their Grandma and hope not to pick up too many characteristics from her. Then they started to get used to it. They would go down to her house and get ready for the week's events and hope to make something out of nothing. Will they be able to stay in one piece and manage to keep from going crazy after going to their Grandma’s and being terribly influenced so much? Opinion of the novel This year I read a book in class called A Long Way From Chicago. My opinion of the novel is everyone should read it. I think they should read it because there are many different things that happen. Especially humor, everybody loves a good book with lots of humor. It is always good when the Grandma is crazy as can be, she breaks the law and brings her grandchildren with her! She does all kinds of funny interesting things and is hallarious. My favorite part of the book was chapter 3 One Woman Crime Wave. In that chapter Grandma takes ner grandchildren with her to a lake and takes someone else’s boat. Also she uses a fish trap but the thing in fish trapping is illegal. But what she does with the fish is cool, she uses it to feed the homeless. Which is very big because this book happenes during the Great Depression. I would definitely rate this book 5 out of 5 stars, It was awesome. I would definitely recomend reading this book, It is very good. In conclusion I think it is my favorite book of all time. A big quote from the book is: “You’ve had your time boy, you don’t get no more.” Grandma said that just before she shot two rounds at Shotgun Cheatham’s coffin.

Every chapter in this book, although short, manages to get you attached to the characters and to understand more of who the Great Beats were. But their deaths were very undramatic.

Like that comic, spirit animals is a graphic novel with storybook letters beside the comic.

And a mysterious animal hides it, it was a Unicorn, They are shocked at the unicorn. They also have a book or a comic, they read Zeus The Mighty Graphic Novel and Marnie says, "Zeus is facing off dangers! How lucky." They got to the airport and flew fo Argentina to find your Best pal Argentinosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus and More unicorns, this unicorn was EPIC. Glitters and stars are fancy as well their epic.. hope you fun read this!😽

Spirit Animals: Book 7

By Marie Lu

In my opinion, I really liked this book. One reason why is it has adventure and battle Another reason why is i have never read a book series that made me feel like it is made for me The last reason why is the story is made up entirely but when you read it. It feels so real. My favorite part is when the elk frees merlin and shane from the bile. You might like this book if you like wings of fire You should read this book because its vary unique.
