review 1: Being 12 is confusing enough, but when you add in a magic journal, things are even more mixed-up! Gracie has acquired a journal in which whatever she writes comes true. At first this, seems like the best thing in the world. However, Gracies soon learns that there are consequences for everything. For instance, when she innocently writes, "Gracie's dad got a job as a sports announcer, the job he wanted more than anything else in the world," she never dreams that the job will be in a different state. Things tend to turn our differently than Gracie expects when she writes in the journal and she starts to wonder if it's really worth keeping.
review 2: Gracie buys an old journal at a garage sale - and discovers that whatever she writes in the journal comes true in re... moreal life. Sounds like at idea at first - she writes that the principal removed the school dress code, and the next day he does. She writes that her dad gets the job of his dreams - and he does. But.... the results aren't always lasting. A few days later the principal not only reinstates the dress code, but requires uniforms. And Gracie's dad's amazing new job is in a town that's four hours away. So what started out to be a wonderful opportunity is more dangerous and powerful that Gracie first realized. What if she wishes for world peace? Or an end to hunger? That will happen, but at what cost?This will make a great booktalk! Ask kids what they'd write in the book. less
