How soon we adults forget all the aches and pains and dilemmas of growing up and in this book, Harper does an excellent job of letting us see into the life of an elementary school girl and her classmates and friends.  I’m not sure how old Grace actually is or in what grade, but I would guess about fourth grade and ten years old.  I know teachers, parents and adults in general, find some kids difficult to be around.  But it’s actually nice to see that other kids find these same kids annoying, also.  Dealing with tattletales, snobby kids, and teachers are all strengths that Harper brings to her books.  How Grace deals with them and the lessons learned are ones we all need to hear.  This will make a great read for all kids.
