===**Tell about the novel's characters and plot so far. Why do you think the author chose this setting (time and place)? What language, actions, or devices let you know that it is a different time period from our own?**===

soccergirl12. Wow I like that book a lot well at the begining of the book it was summer then it went farther and farther in the book like it went to fall and winter. The main characters are bootsey the cat, Grandma and the little girl she was about my age thoe. By Nickleback. Richard Peck, the acclaimed author of over twenty-five novels,has won the prestigious Margaret A. Edwards Award for lifetime achievement in young adult literature. A long way from Chicago, his prequel to A Year down yonder,was name a Newbery Honor book, a National book Award finalist, an ALA Notable book, and an ALA Best book for Young Adults.

**It can be said that Grandma's bark is worse that her bite. What do I mean by that? Give an example from the novel.**
===**Soccergirl12- Well I do know a wacky grandma like that well it is my grandmashe does weird yet cool stuff she is really intertaining. Well it may mean that she is not mean like her bite is not bad it is just the first experetion you see, when you meet her. My example is when the girl thoyught at first that she was mean but really she was doing the girl a favor. So the little girl thought that it was her bite not bark but really it was a bark so the girl was scared about the bite in the feature.**=== By Nickleback. well she is very smart and the reason why is because she has grandchildren.well my grandma she does the same things like her. yes that does say that but sere sly her bite are worse than her barks. well grandma in the front of the book is when grandma is holding an umbrella and shes walking around she looks like she is going to get someone at the train station.

=== **As the novel comes to it's conclusion, what did you think about it in hindsight? Would you have chosen it to read or instead gone with another choice? Why? What was your favorite part of the novel? Who was your favorite character? Why? Will you read the sequel (there are two more)? Soccergirl12- Well I would of chosen this book because it was better than i thaught it would be. It would of been better if my partner [group] would of read it with me but other than that it was so good. My favorite part was at the beginning when the grandma thought that the little girl was crazzy because4 the girl was staying at the grandmas house for a really long time and all ashe brought was a radio and her cat. My favorite charecter is the cat. I like the cat because it sounds cirious and funny also verry lazzy so I think that is cute. Yes I would reasd the 2 and 3 book because I loved this book so much that I would read it.** ===
