[The best books ... for teens of all ages. http://www.60secondpicks.com] Joey and Mary Alice are city slickers who spend summers with their Grandma Dowdel in her sleepy little Illinois town. But the excitement of Chicago, it turns out, pales in comparison to the excitement of the yearly hijinks at Grandma's. There are bullies to outwit, ornery neighbors to help, and justice to uphold—with a little illegal fishing and pie-tampering thrown in, just for good measure. Of course, it's all in the name of good, as Joey and Mary Alice quickly discover. And that makes "A Long Way from Chicago" not just a rip-roaring read, but also a story about an unusual Good Samaritan that's sure to leave you smiling.
