I haven't read it, but our former non-reader loves it.

My mother and her teachers had trouble getting my neice to take any interest in reading. Then I took over the job (I was a *non-reader until I found rights books as a child) and started buying her "Just Grace" and "Ivy & Bean", now she makes a point to inform me when one of these books are out and I haven't gotten it for her, then waits eagerly for it and disappears into her room until she's done with it.
Great books!

My daughter loves this series. I love it because the subject matter is not too mature.

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! Reviewed by: Marta Morrison
