A boy reminisces about spending summers with grandma in her small town
Cesta dlhá ako Chicago Séria
Táto séria sleduje nezabudnuteľné letné dobrodružstvá súrodencov Joeyho a Mary Delanieovcov s ich excentrickým strýkom Putmanom. Každý rok od roku 1929 do roku 1936 ich zavedie do iného, často nečakaného dobrodružstva, ktoré ich posúva vpred v ich osobnom raste. Príbehy sú plné humoru, ľudskosti a nenápadného zobrazenia spoločenských zmien počas Veľkej hospodárskej krízy. Je to dojímavé skúmanie rodiny, dospievania a nečakaných životných lekcií.
