This review is from: Just Grace and the Snack Attack (Hardcover)
Grace's class has a new project - find out about unusual food around the world.Grace decides to research potato chips. Grace finds herself a little jealous when her dad seems more interested in helping her best friend, Mimi, with her hot dog project than he does with Grace's potato chips. Grace also learns to make a zine, sneaks away to talk to her neighbor, and does something in class she never thought she'd do. Grace is in for another fun adventure! This is the fifth JUST GRACE book and the first one I've read. The nice thing about the book is that I didn't feel lost, so a reader could pick up any title and jump right in. There are lots of illustrations, because Grace loves to draw, so the book would be great for readers who enjoy the DIARY OF A WIMPY KID books and are looking for other humorously illustrated books. The book even includes instructions on how readers can make their own zine just like Grace. There were a few times that I felt that Grace's wisdom was a little wise beyond her years, but for the most part she is very funny and has some great observations about life that will be sure to leave readers laughing. Grace is perfect for fans of CLEMENTINE and ALLIE FINKLE. She somewhat reminds me of a less-crazy Clementine - Grace seems not quite as wild, which I think readers who might not relate to Clementine's crazy antics will appreciate. Readers are sure to find Grace a fun, relatable character. Just be careful when you read this one - you'll want to make sure you have potato chips handy!

Chipwiches and zines, positivity and fun,
By Sunny Sewing Honeybee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Just Grace and the Snack Attack (Hardcover)
Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
Due to a student making fun of another one for eating something unusual, Just Grace and her entire class are forced to study atypical foods in order to develop an appreciation for them. Just Grace is unsure what to research until her friend Augustine Dupre surprises her with chicken-flavored potato chips. From there, she decides to find out what other unusual flavors potato chips are available in.Grace is brimming over with optimism, a good sense of humor, a thankful heart, and friendliness even toward someone no one else likes. She does break the rules at times since she's not supposed to visit Augustine Dupre, but her conscience is always on high alert. The positive mentality in this book is a pleasant change of pace from plenty of other young adult books presently on the market. Though the storyline is not one full of adventure, but rather more about everyday life, the writing style is quick-moving and inventive and keeps one wanting to read more. The charming, childlike illustrations add to the story, and there are a couple of how-tos (a zine and "chipwich") that encourage readers to interact with the book. This book is a really entertaining read (although it did make me very hungry!). 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Read this book with your children.,
By reg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Just Grace and the Snack Attack (Hardcover)
Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
Just Grace and the Snack Attack is the 5th book in a continuing series and the first that I have read. It is a book written journal-style with Grace narrating. The book takes place during one school week. Just Grace (there are 2 other girls named Grace in her class) encounters many of the same experiences all kids will encounter in school and in their relationships with friends and families. This is why I suggest you read it with your children. Even though Grace is a girl, I think boys would enjoy this book IF you read it to them. Reading this book to your child will open opportunities for discussions. Some of the topics I noted while reading the book are: what happens when you make fun of someone, eating different food, jealous feelings, white lies, feeling like a bad friend, trouble making at school, gossip, and what happens when you do something dumb. You know your child will run into these things at some point and will only benefit by having already discussed them with you. Read a little each night before bed. You will be glad you did.

Learning lessons in a fun way,
By Linda A. Slott "Ladyslott" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Just Grace and the Snack Attack (Hardcover)
Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
I read this book with my granddaughter who is eight and it was a nice bonding experience and an opportunity to talk about some of the issues brought out in the book; things like being jealous, teasing and being a good friend.Just Grace (one of three Grace's in her class) is a typical eight year old girl. She is bright, funny and curious. When the class is given a project to learn about different foods of the world Grace decides to study unusual potato chips. Through this project the children begin to learn about different cultures. This was a great way to discuss several things that probably happen on a day to day basis and it teaches without preaching. I think the book is probably one that would be appreciated more by girls, mostly because they would identify a lot with Grace. I also loved Grace's 'zine' drawings throughout the book, they added a fun and whimsical touch to the book. It is written in a diary format, similar to the Wimpy Kids books so it is easy to read and is also a good read aloud book. My granddaughter loved it and now wants all the Just Grace books. |
