    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'.
