I loved this book as a kid,
By LifeboatB (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Her Majesty, Grace Jones (formerly The Majesty of Grace) (Hardcover)
this was one of my favorite children's books--I checked it out of the library numerous times, along with its sequel, "The Boyhood of Grace Jones". The story recounts the adventures of an American girl living with her family as they struggle through the Depression. Grace is an imaginative, engaging child, and the period details are fascinating, and subtly worked into the story (as I recall; this review is based on my childhood memories). Grace's relatives and friends are all lively, believable characters. Their difficulties are realistic enough to give readers the sense of what it was really like to live during the Depression, but the book has a lighthearted, comic tone that keeps it fun to read. I suspect from reading reviews of the new "Kit Kittredge" movies that the screenwriter may have lifted some ideas from Grace. But it's certain that fans of the "American Girl" books will enjoy this one.
