A Season of Gifts by Richard Peck<br />

90-year-old Mrs. Dowdel has her hands full when the new next door neighbor's kid gets in a<br />

mess of trouble with the local bullies. Mrs. Dowdel’s response is, if you can’t get justice…<br />

get even. She shows how to dole out justice and kindness in some very unusual ways.<br />
