More About This Book

Overview

Grace can do a lot of things...but can she save the planet???? Or at the very least, can she help her best friend Mimi get her favorite stuffed animal back?

Lots of exciting things are happening to Grace and her friends. Most exciting of all, Mimi's older cousin Gwen is coming to stay with Mimi, and Miss Lois's class is GOING GREEN! For their "green" project, Grace and Mimi aim to inspire their friends and classmates to conserve plastic bottles. But a far more important issue is that Gwen has taken a strong liking to Mimi's favorite stuffed toy, Willoughby. Just Grace uses her empathy superpower to figure out ways to make her best friend feel better, and she makes a difference for the environment too. Yard sales, toy owls, decorated plastic water bottles, flaming onion rings, and a very entrepreneurial Sammy Stringer make this another winning entry in the JUST GRACE series.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Just Grace returns in her fourth outing, which features an environmental theme. When her class begins a unit on "Going Green," (according to Grace, this does not mean "studying frogs" or "dressing up as Irish leprechauns"), Grace's take-charge attitude and "empathy powers" gain momentum, and she becomes a "superhero of conservation." Practical information is sprinkled throughout (Grace learns that conservation can also mean holding onto what's important). Sure to please Grace's fans. Ages 6-10. (Feb.)

Children's Literature
Interesting well-written chapter books for youngsters moving from picture book to longer stories are at a premium. This title, printed on recycled paper, is the fourth one about an entirely realistic third grader named Grace and it definitely fills the need. She is now known as Just Grace because her teacher, Miss Lois, needed to distinguish her from the other two Graces in her class. Grace is not really happy about this but accepts it as something she cannot change. The class is involved in a project to help save the planet by recycling, conserving and spreading awareness about going green. Grace and her best friend, Mimi, are working together for their class presentation about the endangered red panda. Gwen, an older cousin of Mimi's, comes for a visit and provides good ideas for the girls. Cartoon-like pen and ink illustrations are found on almost every page and add greatly to the enjoyment of the story as they illustrate such varied items as decorated plastic water bottles, super hero costumes, a flaming volcano made out of an onion and a toy called Wee Tiny Mee Mee. Readers who love Judy Moody and Amber Brown will be happy to discover Just Grace. Put this one on the first-purchase list. Reviewer: Sylvia Firth

School Library Journal

Gr 2-4

In this installment in the series, Grace and her friends are learning about recycling. Their teacher, Miss Lois, has challenged the third graders to work in groups and present a project on how to "go green" in some way. Many valuable ideas are presented, such as turning off lights, conserving water, and reusing and recycling. A subplot involves Grace's best friend's cousin coming for an extended stay and the trouble it causes. Narrated by Grace, the story is simple, yet informative and fun. Childlike drawings are interspersed throughout. This is an appealing book for early chapter-book readers. Fans of the series are sure to enjoy it, but it can stand on its own.-Michele Sealander, Hamburg School, NJ

Read an Excerpt

WHAT GOING GREEN DOES NOT MEAN:

1. Studying frogs.
2. Dressing up as Irish leprechauns.
3. Getting free money.
4. Eating lots of spinach or salad.

WHAT GOING GREEN DOES MEAN: Learning about new ways to save energy, recycle, and save the planet and it’s inhabitants, which means all the plants and animals and us. Miss Lois said our planet needed our help and we were all going to be superheroes of conservation and save the earth! Then she did something that was totally like Mr. Frank and not at all like Miss Lois. She asked us to each design our own superhero costume.

When a project is fun people sometimes want to do even more work than they are supposed to. This doesn’t happen very often, so Miss Lois smiled when she said it was okay to design two different costumes if we wanted.

It was hard to get everybody to stop doing the fun part of saving the earth and concentrate on the learning part of saving the earth. Jane Dublin was especially unhappy when she found out that Miss Lois was not going to take our designs home and make us all real costumes to wear. Her costume was a pretty cool butterfly kind of thing. She would have sure looked great in it because she’s got long, skinny legs kind of like a bug. Other people, like Owen 1, didn’t really do a very good job of thinking about their design as a real costume. It would have been really hard for him to even fit in his.

Miss Lois tried to make everybody feel better by saying that all our designs would make great Halloween costumes. She just doesn’t know that most boys would never wear superhero costumes when they could wear gross masks and creepy clothes dripping with fake blood instead.

    Reviewed by Marta Morrison for TeensReadToo.com

    This is the fifth book in the JUST GRACE series for younger school students.

    Grace is in the third grade. Her teacher, Miss Lois, is teaching a unit on going green. Grace and her best friend, Mimi, have to do a project for the unit. Mimi's older cousin is coming to visit and both girls are excited.

    This is a great series for upper elementary students who are struggling with reading. Grace is likable and funny.

    There are also many facts about what pollution is doing to our planet. Did you know that every time you flush the toilet that you use 3.5 gallons of water? When you compare that to families in third world countries who live on only 10 gallons a day, that makes you think.

    My favorite part was when they had to design a superhero costume for conserving the planet. That was super creative and something I am going to steal for my own class!
