Just Grace is back and even more hilarious than before.

She's still trying to cheer everyone up and she still draws Not-So-Super comics, but this time she's on a different mission. She wants a dog and she wants one bad. Her best friend, Mimi, also wants a dog. They decide that Grace has a better chance of getting one, so when Grace does get a dog, they plan on sharing it.

Of course, it's not easy convincing Grace's parents that she's responsible enough to have a dog -- and there's also the fact that Grace and Mimi can't decide on what type of dog to get. It turns out that getting a dog is harder than Grace expected.

JUST GRACE WALKS THE DOG is a great addition to the humorous JUST GRACE series. Harper does a great job of capturing the voice of a young tween. The writing style, while very simple, is perfect for the intended audience and makes the book great for those who are just beginning to tackle chapter books.

I recommend this to fans of the AMBER BROWN and JUNIE B. JONES series'. ( )

"Perfect for beginning chapter book readers, the text is broken up by headings, cartoons, lists, charts, and journal entries. it flows smoothly and easily."

Third Just Grace book is about the eight-year-old's attempts to convince her parents that she is dependable and responsible enough to get a dog. Cute, but I was hoping it would be funnier. ( )
