Charise Mericle Harper's Just Grace books have earned widespread critical acclaim and many young fans. This year Grace is determined to do three things: help her grandmother move to her fancy new apartment, make sure the new neighbor boy who can do headstands doesn't steal her best friend, and get her teacher to start calling her Grace instead of "Just Grace."

Charise Mericle Harper begins a promising new series starring Grace Stewart, lover of comics, cats, and lists (not necessarily in that order). She's unlucky enough to live next door to weird teacher Mrs. Luther. But when Mrs. Luther's beloved cat becomes afraid of its owner after an unfortunate incident, Grace hatches a plot to make her neighbor feel better.

"Money, money, money...I love money, money, money" is Fudge's new theme song. He's drawing dollar signs for breakfast, thumbing through catalogs at bedtime, and making enough "Fudge Bucks" so he can buy the whole world (or at least Toys "R" Us). Fudge's latest obsession is driving his brother, Peter, crazy!

Sheila Tubman sometimes wonders who she really is: the outgoing, witty, and capable Sheila the Great, or the secret Sheila, who's afraid of the dark, spiders, swimming, and dogs? When her family spends the summer in Tarrytown, Sheila has to face some of her worst fears. Not only does a dog come with the rented house, but her parents expect Sheila to take swimming lessons!

Living with his little brother, Fudge, makes Peter Hatcher feel like a fourth grade nothing. Whether Fudge is throwing a temper tantrum in a shoe store, smearing mashed potatoes on the walls at Hamburger Heaven, or scribbling all over Peter's homework, he's never far from trouble. He's a two-year-old terror who gets away with everything, and Peter's had enough.
