Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. This did not influence my review.

Greta Grace is a novel about a girl standing up to bullying. Greta Grace has been bullied for a while by Casey, though she will not tell anyone about it because she fears that will make the bullying worse. The only person that she tells about this is her elderly neighbor, Mrs. McGee. However, when Mrs. McGee falls and goes into a coma, she has to figure it out herself.

This was a decent novel, a fast read, but it did have some problems. One of the biggest ones was Greta Grace herself. She was supposed to be thirteen but I thought that she sounded more like a nine year old doing things that a thirteen year old would do. It also wasn’t very realistic how not involved the adults were. Any teacher would have noticed the things that Casey did, but no one helped Greta Grace.

Overall, I think that this might be good for young girls under ten.
