Reviews for Grace the Amazing

"“this is a coming-of-age story that will resonate with many who also feel isolated, a misfit and misunderstood, as once again, Darlison has created credible characters who could be the kids we know and so the reader fits right into the story.” * The Bottom Shelf * “The delightful character of Grace will resonate with many young readers. She is full of energy, passion and creativity, yet struggles to find her place amongst her peers"" * ReadPlus * “Aleesah Darlison has created a powerful, realistic, and insightful representation of life situations children struggle to understand, at an age when friendships define who they are. In the frank narrative voice of her leading character, Darlison has produced a beautiful, well-rounded portrait of a troubled child; how she thinks, what she worries about, and the insecurities that at times plague her, with resolutions.” * Kids’ Book Review * “A sensitive story filled with joy, heart, and special bonds that last a lifetime.” * Buzz Words * “Darlison hits the mark in this middle grade offering, crafting a balanced, meaningful account of how to say goodbye to someone you love. Voiced by the quirky, charismatic Grace, the story is based on Darlison’s experience with a teacher who made an indelible mark on her life.” * Reading Time *"
