Summary

Grace has lots of new and exciting things to share in the latest addition to the Just Grace series! There's a new crossing guard in town named Marie who needs a bit of help making friends, a fun substitute teacher for Miss Lois, and most exciting, Grace and Mimi are going to have their own table at the craft fair! They are going to make lots of crafts to sell--and hopefully save up enough money to go to the county fair. There is one small problem, though--Mimi is a sewing natural, but when it comes to crafting, Grace doesn't know what to make. Leave it to Grace to come up with a great idea for the fair that is a big success, and even helps the new crossing guard find a friend.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 1-4-The frank and hilarious Grace and her best friend Mimi have entered the school craft fair. Peppered with Grace's comics, this charmingly depicts school and family strife with the beloved third grader's witty flair. (c) Copyright 2014.

Booklist Review

The sub who takes over Grace's third-grade class starts a creative writing project that captures the kids' imaginations. Meanwhile, Grace helps Mimi prepare for a craft fair, finds an unexpected friend for the new crossing guard, and even begins to understand an annoying classmate better. Weaving these disparate elements into a very readable story, Harper makes clear that even the best friendships need effort, understanding, and a little space from time to time. The believable first-person narration, large type, and childlike line drawings make this and other volumes in the Just Grace series appealing, accessible choices for young readers.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2010 Booklist
