Just Grace Goes Green (Just Grace #4)
Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
Series: Just Grace
Grace can do a lot of things...but can she save the planet???? Or at the very least, can she help her best friend Mimi get her favorite stuffed animal back?

Lots of exciting things are happening to Grace and her friends. Most exciting of all, Mimi's older cousin Gwen is coming to stay with Mimi, and Miss Lois's class is GOING GREEN! For their "green" project, Grace and Mimi aim to inspire their friends and classmates to conserve plastic bottles. But a far more important issue is that Gwen has taken a strong liking to Mimi's favorite stuffed toy, Willoughby. Just Grace uses her empathy superpower to figure out ways to make her best friend feel better, and she makes a difference for the environment too. Yard sales, toy owls, decorated plastic water bottles, flaming onion rings, and a very entrepreneurial Sammy Stringer make this another winning entry in the JUST GRACE series.

Review quotes

"With short, snappy sentences and lots of small black-and-white cartoons, the book features young grade-schoolers realistic talks about feeling mad, jealous, and happy with classmates and family ( How to make a bad day worse ).Grace is also concerned about pollution and what kids can do about it, and Harper offers specific suggestions, from recycling and decorating plastic water bottles to saving endangered red pandas, switching off the lights at home, and holding a yard sale. Instead of boring arithmatic, Grace wants exciting lessons about how to save the planet, and readers will want them too after finishing this enjoyable read."—"Booklist"

"Girls who are settling into chapter book series featuring Clementine and Judy Moody will love the fast pace and familiar school and family situations. Grace s amusing lists and headlines such as "How to Make a Bad Day Worse" and "What I Did That Was Unusual" will keep readers entertained, and Harper s sketches add interest and break up the text, leaving the new reader time to pause and smile."—"Horn Book"

"This is an appealing book for early chapter-book readers. Fans of the series are sure to enjoy it, but it can stand on its own."—"School Library Journal"

"A fun read for kids and adults."—"BookPage""
