Just Grace and the Flower Girl Power, 192 pgs. Houghton Mifflin, 2012. $15.99 Content:
G.
Grace’s downstairs neighbor,
Augustine Dupre, is getting married.
Grace and Augustine have been friends for a long time, so Grace hopes
that she can be the flower girl at Augustine’s wedding, but she is disappointed
to find out that she will not be the flower girl. Augustine promises her an important job of handing out
flowers to the guests, and Grace is excited about the pretty dress she gets to
wear. Grace also wants to give
Augustine a cool present, so she decides to try and train the pet cat, Crinkles
to walk down the aisle during the wedding. The fact that cats aren’t easily trained doesn’t stop
Grace. Her surprise amazingly
works and Augustine loves her gift from Grace.
I have loved all the Just Grace novels I have read so far
because I feel like Grace is a good friend and she is a rational problem
solver. However, in this book
Grace’s solution to a problem of a wedding gift was ridiculous and completely
unbelievable. I felt like Grace
tried to take the spotlight from Augustine’s wedding with the cat walking down
the aisle, making her a selfish friend.
I didn’t like this book in the series.
EL (4-6)-OPTIONAL.
