NEW PAPERBACK EDITION 

Listed as a 'notable' in the Children's Book Council Awards, 2020 (Eva Pownell Award for non-fiction). 

What could 7-year-old Doug in 1940 possibly have in common with 8-year-old Jem in 2019?

There is a little wooden house in our town. It has been there a while. 

Now, it is Jem's home. Then, it was Doug's home. 

Eighty years can bring a lot of change to a small town...but what about the people who live there? 

Were your grandparents really that different to you?
