because Grandma Dowdel thinks her pie is going to lose so she secretly trades them

Grandma Dowdel's first name is not specified in the book "A Long Way from Chicago" by Richard Peck. She is only referred to as Grandma Dowdel throughout the story.
she had joey make it
Grandma Dowdel, from "A Long Way From Chicago" is a tough and funny Grandma that only goes by the name of Grandma in the book. Surely she has a real first name, but the author does not reveal it in the book.
From Grandpa Dowdel
Joey (Joe), Mary Alice, and Grandma Dowdel
Grandma Dowdel teaches Mary Alice the importance of being resourceful, standing up for oneself, and taking care of family. She also shows Mary Alice the value of kindness, resilience, and independence in facing life's challenges.
Out in the country at someone's grandma's kitchen...Grandma's make the best pies in the universe...Expecially my grandma's pies...But, her best is an apple pie and then cherry pie...But, any grandma can make a good pie!!
That's a silly question to ask. Maybe she loves pies? ASK YOUR GRANDMA
In "A Year Down Yonder," the climax occurs when Mary Alice helps Grandma Dowdel enact revenge on the banker, Mr. Weidenbach, by confronting him during the Halloween pageant in front of the entire town. This event solidifies the bond between Mary Alice and Grandma Dowdel, and marks a turning point in their relationship.
You defeat grandma by asking her about making pies and have grandpa do your math homework instead
Well, Mary Alice is coming from Chicago. Although, her grandma(Grandma Dowdel) lives in a small rural area. . .The book doesn't tell which state or city in the book. I think it might be Illinois. It takes place in 1937.
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."
