A Long Way From Chicago by Richard Peck

This book is about a boy named Joey and his sister, Mary Alice. From 1929 to 1942, they go to Chicago to spend the summer with their Grandmother. Something funny and exciting happens every year, like seeing the sheriff in his underwear to scaring some boys with a dead mouse and a bottle with milk! I would recommend this book to 5th-7th graders who love adventures.
