I agree that grandma shouldn't have switched the pies, but I have to  disagree about the ribbon I don't think it was the most honest thing to do  but she  did so that joey would get his dream come true.                                  ~Emily

Emily, I totally agree with you . I like where you said that Mary Alice becomes a little sneaky,(like Grandma) over all I like your comment I would have said about the same things.                                                                                       ~ Anthea :)

Morgan,
So what you're saying is that Grandma Dowdel is getting soft in her old age? :) Would you consider her to be a loving grandmother?

Brendan,
It is funny how they decide to start off the book. It was a little slow moving in the prologue and in the first chapter, then BAM! she has her run-in with the Cowgill boys. Do you think her actions were fair?

Holden,
I agree that Grandma Dowdel is very sneaky! I love that you felt like she was paid back for not always following the rules. It make me think of the saying that, "Cheaters never win."

Morgan: I totally agree with you Athena how she is senkey she is defiantly being ilagle but she is doing it for a good cause we have mostly the same feelings.

Morgan I was feeling just about the same feelings as you. I agree with you that it does seem kind of weird that she waved and i don't think she would have in the beginning of the story                                                                                          ~ Anthea :)

Morgan: "In the troop train" 1942. I was very sad that Joey went to join the army. It is very nice that Grandma Dowdel waved to Joey as the troop train went by. I am also surprised that she did that.  Just saying its a little weird that grandma Dowdel waved to Joey. in the first part of the story grandma dowdel would defiantly not do that but as the story went on grandma  you could see that grandma dowdel started to drift to more of a nice person. but is still a little of her old self changed through out the story. She is an amazing  Grandma.

Emily:  In the phantom Brakeman  grandma is rude , like herself  . But Mary Alice also becomes  a little sneaky, like grandma! This is because she hides a person in her room! I thought this really isn't  Mary Alice, but then I thought  she did do it so that  Junior and Vandalia could  be together . So now I  think that this is something  like Mary Alice .

This chapter is my favorite chapter. Grandma finally gets it for all those times she did sneaky stuff!
When she switched the names around, the other person won with Grandma's pie. That serves her right for all the times she did sneaky stuff!
But she still didn't learn her lesson. She used an old ribbon to get a ride on the plane!
Grandma is EXTREMELY sneaky.

Anthea: I thought grandma Dowdel was very sneaky when she used an illegal fish trap. When reading this chapter, i was amazed, shocked and laughing a little bit. Now after finishing the book I know that it is sort of normal for grandma to do things like this. But throughout the book i really think she is a good grandma, who is willing to break a law to get food for a person in need.

Brendan: I was surprised in the chapter "The Mouse in the Milk, 1930."Because grandma Dowdel threatened to shoot the Cowgill brothers just because they blew up her mailbox with a fire cracker! : O, I also kind of chuckled because they were all scared out of there skin. And they got beet by their parents. I think her actions were fair because she was defending herself.
