The book is amasing book because of all its agitives,diskriptive words,and funny vocabulay.It was a privlige to be able to read this bookand I enjoyed it!

Although I don't like the book, I didn't like the middle or beginning
I liked the end.Except for the tornado part.Maybe
it was the map activity,I don't know.For the map activity Lidia and I hade to make a map of Illinois.I loved the map activity.We put Grandma Dowdle's house in the middle because it was the main place where everything happend.That's why we had all the paths coming from Grandma's house.This is mainly what happend in the story.A girl named Mary-Alice has to go live with he grandma in Illinois. She meets this guy named Royse Mc Nabb.She ends up leaving to go to college and comes back to marry RoysMcNabb. There is a pecan tree on our poster because in the book grandma stole pecans from an old death man.We also have two giant pumkins on there because she also stone pumkins. She only stole the stuff because she wanted to make
