School’s out . . . and of course that means it’s time for fun! Grace and her friends are always ready for a little adventure, and Grace’s backyard is the perfect place to set up headquarters. Suddenly the lawn is transformed into the center ring of a big-top circus, then a rocket launch pad, and then a hospital emergency room! The group’s exploits, both real and imagined, provide all kinds of unexpected rewards—and might even land Grace on an actual stage in a real theater production!
 
“This is sure to be a hit with fans of Amazing Grace and Boundless Grace. . . . [A] fast-paced choice.”—School Library Journal
"Hoffman's text reads easily and is filled with humor and the wide-eyed innocence of young children at play. . . This is sure to be a hit with fans of Amazing Grace and Boundless Grace, both picture books, and will be a fast-paced choice for reluctant readers."--School Library Journal
