Sure! One simile in "A Year Down Yonder" is when Grandma Dowdel is described as being "old as the hills." Another simile is when the main character describes her grandma's voice as being "scratchy like a rusty hinge."
Grandma said, "If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute."
If your asking if Royce Mcnabb is in the book year down yonder, then yes. He comes from year down yonder. He is the new boy in the school that the main character, Mary Alice goes to. They fall in love and live happily ever after.
