Grace &Sylvie

American Girl: Grace #1.5

by Susanna Reich, Brian C. Hailes (Illustrator)

Read about Grace's trip to Paris from her cousin's point of view! Sylvie's excited that her American cousin is coming to Paris. But Grace's summer visit is just one of many changes for Sylvie. Her maman is having a baby soon, and Sylvie isn't sure how she'll fit into her family once le bébé is born. Papa is so busy at their bakery, La Pâtisserie, that he doesn't have much time for her--even when she helps him decorate pastries. When Grace arrives, Sylvie discovers that her cousin doesn't speak French, and Sylvie's too shy to try speaking English. What can Sylvie do to fix her family troubles?

Cute

I liked reading the story of Grace's visit to France from sylvie's perspective. Only thing is they left out the argument they had where grace realized Sylvie really did know some English, that took place in the first grace book. Good book for the target audience. And if you liked these books the movie is cute too.

In my opinion, it doesn’t add anything to the reading experience of the first book. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Interestingly, this is the same tale as "Grace" which was my favorite American Girl book so far. However, this was written from the opposite perspective, and therefore included more of what the author portrays to be the mindset of the French national hosting an American relative or other visitor. I enjoyed reading about some of the same challenges from a different point of view, but all in all, I still enjoyed Grace's version better.

An Amazing Twist

I liked this book because it was from the point of view from Sylvie. What I didn't like was that it wasn't exactly like the Grace book. In the book it took practice for Grace in the bakery etc. Overall I did like this book. I give 5 stars!
