    1. A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck A summary of all the chapters By: Tyler Clark

    3. Vittles and Vengeance In Vittles and Vengeance, every privy but Grandma’s is destroyed by some pranksters. Then, one night, they come after Grandma’s crapper. But Grandma is ready for them. She set up a tripwire and waited in the cob house with a pan of homemade glue. When the pranksters came, one tripped, one stopped, and the other ran away. Grandma lunged out of the cob house and poured her glue in his hair! Grandma made some pecan pies and took them to the school party, where Mary Alice saw the kid that Grandma poured glue on! His head was shaved.

    4. A Minute in The Morning Grandma and Mary Alice go to a turkey shoot. Grandma says that they are going for the burgoo-a type of stew. Grandma charges more than 10 cent a cup from some people! The burgoo is to raise money for Mrs. Abernathy’s son, who was gassed up and shot In WW II. The shoot was to raise money for the American Legion.

    5. Away in a Manger Mary Alice's school is having a Nativity scene play. Mary Alice is Baby Jesus’ Mother. One night, Grandma takes Mary Alice out to check her fox traps. She caught four (4) foxes. All thought Winter Grandma checks her traps. On the night of the play, when the Nativity scene began, the baby Jesus screamed. It was a real, 101% genuine baby! Grandma ran up and identified the baby as a Burdick.

    6. Hearts and Flour The DAR’s (Daughters of the American Revolution) cherry-tart cooker Mrs. Vottsmeiser, couldn’t host the Washington Birthday tea at her house this year. So Mrs. Weidenbach ask Grandma if she could host the party at her house instead. (She also wanted Grandma to cook the tarts.) Grandma said yes, and so on Washington's B-Day, the DAR hold the celebration. Mae Griswold, a women with one foot in the grave, (she's old) was talking about how she remembered when Mrs. Weidenbach was little. She said she had a sister, and that they went to separate foster homes. (Most of their family was in the pokey) Mrs. Effie Wilcox realizes that she is Mrs. Weidenbach’s long-lost sister. Then the celebration was over.

    7. A Dangerous Man One day, a man named Arnold Green came to Grandma’s yard and wanted to stay at her house for a while. He was from New York and was in Grandma’s town to paint murals for the post office. Grandma charged him rent ($2.50 a night) to stay in her house. One day, Royce McNabb, the new boy in town, is invited to Grandma’s house by Mary Alice to help her ‘study’ her Math. But while they were sitting in chairs, ‘studding’, they hear lots of banging and loud booms coming from the attic, where Arnold paints. Maxine Patch, the town postmistress, runs down the steps with nothing but a large snake wrapped around her. She is so scared that she runs through town, totally nude! (Grandma shot the snake off her with her shotgun.) She doesn't realize it and keeps on running through town!

    8. Gone With The Wind One day, at school, a tornado appeared over the horizon. The school moved all the students to the basement while Mary Alice lit off and went to Grandma’s house. Grandma had Bootsie and April, Mary Alice’s cats with her. They both went to the cellar and weighted. After it cleared, Mary Alice went back to Chicago. (Her dad got a job and they now had a place to stay)

    9. Ever After Mary Alice was married in Grandma’s house to Royce McNabb. Then they lived happily ever after!
