A Season of Gifts by Richard Peck

Fans of A Long Way from Chicago and A Year Down Under by Richard Peck will enjoy his latest book entitled A Season of Gifts.

At times hilarious the story revolves around the Barnhart family of five who move next door to feisty Grandma Dowdel. The year is 1958. The town bully and his gang pick on 11 year old Bob Barnhart. Grandma rescues Bob from her privy where the gang his managed to string Bob precariously above the privy's hole.

Grandma Dowdel's common sense, her interest in the Barnhart family, and her sense of justice are among some of the "gifts" she gives to them.
