Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 08/01/2012 Just Grace’s eighth adventure finds her excited about neighbor Augustine Dupre’s upcoming wedding to Luke the UPS man. Grace is asked to participate (though not as flower girl), and in an effort to give the couple a special wedding present, she conspires to train Mrs. Luther’s cat, Crinkles, to walk down the aisle. As always Grace’s naive misunderstanding of adult interactions provides much humor, while Harper’s cartoon-style spot illustrations add to the appeal, as do subplots concerning a school comics club, Mimi’s little brother, and friendship issues. Great fun for fans of Barbara Park’s Junie B. Jones or Sara Pennypacker’s Clementine. - Copyright 2012 Booklist. Loading...
