Read this with my stepdaughter (middle schooler). She loved this book. It was easy to read and it had short chapters. Bonus was all the “drama” which, from a parent perspective, wasn’t bad at all, just typical, innocent drama that eventually rolled up nicely into a happy ending with decent moral. Overall, good book for the intended audience, although not my cup of tea. Did enjoy the writing style and short chapters though.
Very cute 2nd grade chapter book. I got a little confused from speed reading, but find the quirky character to be charming.

Middle school is generally miserable, and some of these kids are, too, but most of them are actually very likable for all that. I think this got put on my reading list because of the hat-tip to Cyrano de Bergerac (my long-time fave), and it's a cute, lighthearted handling of that angle. There are also some serious bits: Gracie deals with body image issues, as well as some complicated feelings about the older sister who died before Gracie was born, and about feeling like she has to be her parents' little ray of sunshine because of that. It's cute and funny and only a little bit angsty, and I would recommend it to middle-schoolers, and also those who enjoy reading books written for middle-schoolers.… (meer)
