Customer Reviews

Adorable book about discovering your passion and finding a way to make a difference in the world.

Young Gracie fell in love with snorkeling and was determined to make her family love it as much as she did. She used her love of planning to convince them to use their next vacation as a snorkeling trip. They all learned more about themselves and the Climate Crisis we are heading into. Gracie was able to connect the dots in a way that will relate to young readers, and her tiffs with her younger brother were spot-on. I enjoyed the family dynamics, and the tension and resolution of the various problems that cropped up. Very readable book that also educates. I loved it.
