Grace Thomas is the 2015 American Girl girl of the year. Summer vacation has just begun and Grace and her two best friends have big plans to start their own business: dog walking! She loves dogs, but doesn't have one, so this is perfect. She's also super excited to help out as much as possible at her grandparent's bakery. Grace loves experimenting with new recipes.
But her summer plans make a quick change when her Aunt Sophie needs help. Her doctor's put her on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy, so Grace and her mom will need to be with her and help out in her house and her bakery-in Paris! Très chic. She's going to miss her friends and their dog walking, but they've vowed to keep in touch via an online travel blog.
Grace only knows a couple of French words and has only met her Uncle Bernard and cousin Sylvie once a few years ago. Things are very different in Paris, and Sylvie doesn't speak more than a few words of English. Will this summer adventure still be worth writing home about?
The author, Mary Casanova, has also written the girl of the year books for McKenna, Chrissa, and Jess. Check out Grace's next adventure in "Grace Stirs It Up" when Grace and her friends start their own baking business. Délicieux!
