Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Set in 1958, the arrival of a new family next door gives Mrs. Dowdel the perfect opportunity to roll out the welcome wagon and work her magic to make all the new members of the community feel right at home.
Review:
"Pitch-perfect prose, laced with humor and poignancy, strong characterization and a clear development of the theme of gifts one persona can offer make this one of Peck's best novels yet--and that's saying something."
Kirkus Reviews, 08/01/2009
Review:"The type of down-home humor and vibrant characterizations Peck fans have come to adore re-emerge in full as Peck resurrects Mrs. Dowdel, the irrepressible, self-sufficient grandmother featured in A YEAR DOWN YONDER and A LONG WAY FROM CHICAGO."
Publishers Weekly, 07/13/2009

A Season of Gifts (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780803730823) Peck, Richard Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Dial Books for Young Readers, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 211 x 140 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The return of one of children's literature's most memorable characters is a gift indeed. The eccentric, forceful, big-hearted Grandma Dowdel is the star of the Newbery Medal-winning "A Year Down Yonder" and Newbery Honor-winning "A Long Way from Chicago." And it turns out that her story isn't over - not even close. It is now 1958, and a new family has moved in next door to Mrs. Dowdel: a Methodist minister and his wife and kids. Soon Mrs. Dowdel will work her particular brand of charm - or medicine, depending on who you're asking - on all of them: ten-yearold Bob, who is shy on courage in a town full of bullies; his two fascinating sisters; and even Bob's two parents, who are amazed to discover that the last house in town might also be the most vital. As Christmas rolls around, the Barnhart family realizes that they've found a true home - and a neighbor who gives gifts that will last a lifetime.
