But when a merciless bully takes aim at Greta Grace, her carefree existence suddenly ends.Who ever knew that school could be so hard?5 star review by Lexi Fox - Readers' FavoriteIt’s a difficult time in a young person's life to be on the cusp of teenage years, the playfulness of early childhood being slowly left behind as the infamous puberty years loom ahead. Things change, feelings are amplified, and every dark situation feels like it has the potential to be world-ending. It’s amongst this hotbed of emotional changes that Joanna Quinn has set this story, and as a former teacher, it’s a world she has unique expertise in. Greta and her peers are all wonderfully fleshed-out characters with all the accuracy and complexity of people their age. The subject matter of bullying is a very serious one for a book aimed at children, with those who have experienced it often regarding it as one of the worst chapters of their lives. Greta Grace manages to skillfully walk a very delicate line between realistic depiction and a sensitive discussion of the subject, making the book an extremely important resource for parents and educators wanting to open a dialogue with young people about the subject.5 star review by Susan - Readers' FavoriteBeautifully written, Greta Grace by Joanna Quinn is a middle-grade book realistically depicting children's drama and bullying at school. The story is right on the edge of the teen years and young adulthood, and the advice and wisdom the adult characters share are illuminating. I loved the spiritual aspects of the story and how Greta Grace's mother and Mrs. McGee guided her through the difficulties she experiences. I thought it was ingenious how they incorporated yoga into Greta Grace's life to equip her with a sense of well-being and allow her to pause, let go of the situation, and breathe. It is a fabulous story that is certain to connect with and entertain eight to twelve-year-old readers.4 star review by Kristen Van Kampen (Teen Reviewer) for Readers' FavoriteRelatable and interesting, Greta Grace by Joanna Quinn is an entertaining read. I liked that the book was written in the first- person narrative from Greta Grace’s perspective because it made me feel like I really got to know her. The story tackles many issues that school-aged readers may relate to, such as bullying, sickness of a loved one, and friendship fights, and reading this book may help them feel like they’re not alone. I enjoyed reading the book, and so I would recommend it, especially to middle- schoolers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
