of strong emotions they'll be sure to relate to." --Horn Book Just

book."--Library Media Connection Still Just Grace

way...a good addition to the middle-grade shelves." --School
Library Journal Just Grace
Booksense Summer Selection 2007 *"The kids come alive in the story,
and Harper, the author of several previous books, including the
graphic novel Fashion Kitty (2005), enhances the comical goings-on
with sparkling cartoon sketches. Equally delightful is the wry
voice of energetic Just Grace, who never misses an opportunity to
point out the injustices life has dealt her. She's a hero through
and through. Give this to fans of Ann Nagda's Meow Means Mischief
(2003) or anyone looking for a funny book." --Booklist, starred
review "Grace is a funny, mischievous protagonist who should easily
find a place in the pantheon of precocious third graders. Fans of
Amber Brown, Clementine, and Judy Moody will love her." --School
Library Journal
