People think she's got well-armed, with an arsenal of weapons behind her woodbox. He is talking about the woman who lives in the "haunted house" next door. ![]() Come back to this page after you've finished the book.īobby is the narrator. If you have not read the book and do not want any part of it to be "spoiled" then you best stop reading right now. I went out this morning and bought the book. A few weeks ago, Roger Sutton mentioned it at his blog, saying something like "pass the popcorn" and that the PC police were not going to like the book. These emails were not the first I'd heard about the book. His A Year Down Yonder won the prestigious Newbery Medal in 2000 and his A Long Way from Chicago was a Newbery Honor winner in 1998. For my readers outside of children's literature, Peck is a much-acclaimed writer. I've had a flurry of email of late, asking if I've read Richard Peck's new book, A Season of Gifts. ![]()
