Grace's class has a new project - find out about unusual food around the world.
Grace decides to research potato chips. Grace finds herself a little jealous when her dad seems more interested in helping her best friend, Mimi, with her hot dog project than he does with Grace's potato chips. Grace also learns to make a zine, sneaks away to talk to her neighbor, and does something in class she never thought she'd do. Grace is in for another fun adventure!
This is the fifth JUST GRACE book and the first one I've read. The nice thing about the book is that I didn't feel lost, so a reader could pick up any title and jump right in.
There are lots of illustrations, because Grace loves to draw, so the book would be great for readers who enjoy the DIARY OF A WIMPY KID books and are looking for other humorously illustrated books. The book even includes instructions on how readers can make their own zine just like Grace.
There were a few times that I felt that Grace's wisdom was a little wise beyond her years, but for the most part she is very funny and has some great observations about life that will be sure to leave readers laughing.
Grace is perfect for fans of CLEMENTINE and ALLIE FINKLE. She somewhat reminds me of a less-crazy Clementine - Grace seems not quite as wild, which I think readers who might not relate to Clementine's crazy antics will appreciate.
Readers are sure to find Grace a fun, relatable character. Just be careful when you read this one - you'll want to make sure you have potato chips handy!
