About this series
In this seventh installment in the Just Grace series, any day now Grace’s best friend in the whole world, Mimi, is going to be getting a brand-new sister.

And to heighten the excitement even further, Grace is in for another big surprise!

- Just Grace: 3 Books in 1!: Just Grace, Still Just Grace, Just Grace Walks the Dog
Three hilarious misadventures starring the third-grade girl who’s “a hero through and through,” from the author of theNext Best Junior Chef books (Booklist, starred review).

Join Just Grace as she deals with a missing cat, a new neighbor, and more in this delightfully funny three-book collection including Just Grace, Still Just Grace, Just Grace Walks the Dog.

- Just Grace, Star on Stage
The show must go on—even if Grace isn’t the lead—in this “engaging chapter book” from the author ofthe Next Best Junior Chef books (Booklist). In a starred review, Booklist called the Just Grace series “hilarious” and said, “Give this to . . . anyone looking for a funny book.” Grace is a curious and well-meaning third grader who occasionally gets into a little bit of trouble. This time, her class is putting on a play, and Grace is determined to be the star! But things don’t work out quite like she planned, and Marta gets the role. Grace is jealous at first, but soon realizes there’s more than one way to shine on stage. This is an act that fans of Judy Moody and Clementine surely won’t want to miss!
