Gracie is the quiet child. Only twelve-years old, Gracie keeps a low profile, always a blip on the radar screen. But when Gracie buys an old journal at a yard sale, things start to get wierd. Gracie soon realizes that whatever she writes in the journal comes true, in one way or another. Gracie is awed with her new power and begins to use the journal to attain the life she always wanted. After losing the journal, Gracie and her best friend Dylan are so caught up in chasing it down, Gracie barely has time to fix the damage she's done. Along the way, Gracie learns just how powerful words can be...

REVIEW:

An intriguing read despite its designation for a younger audience. Kline delivers a powerful message of what change simple writing can cause without disconnecting the plausability from her twelve-year old protagonist. A pleasure to read. And it even features a special guest appearance from an Alice In Wonderland favorite.... 8/10
