Synopsis
Celebrated Newbery Medal-winning children's author Richard Peck returns along with one of his most beloved creations, the wacky and indomitable Grandma Dowdel (heroine of A YEAR DOWN YONDER and A LONG WAY FROM CHICAGO). It's 1958 and a minister's family moves in next door to Dowdel, including a scared and bullied young boy named Bob. Before she's done with them, Dowdel will have helped the entire family--children and parents alike--and the gifts she gives at Christmas time include much more than mere material presents. A heart-warming tale of a big-hearted woman, SEASON OF GIFTS looks to be another children's classic. Selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the Best Children's Books of 2009.

Publisher's Note
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.

Industry Reviews
"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."
(07/13/2009)

"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."
