Synopsis

Everyone's favorite fourth grader, Gracie Wei, is back for her second chapter book adventure, and she's determined to have the most AWESOME summer ever—if only she can work up the nerve to get back on her bike—for fans of Ivy and Bean and Dory Fantasmagory.

Gracie Wei is the boss and she has everything figured out for a fun time in her Summer of Awesome Club. Slime time! Water balloon fights. Dance offs and plenty of snacks. 
    But her friends Elena, Keira, and Lydia have different ideas. They want to ride bikes, which sounds awful to Gracie, who had a horrible tumble the first time on her bicycle. Can Gracie Wei tell her brain who’s boss and muster up the courage to ride again? Or will her fear get in the way of her summer of awesome?

Quotes

"Gracie’s wit and slight snark soften the bluntness with kid-authentic humor that will surely garner some giggles....The short sentences, heavy dialogue, and cartoony black-and-white pencil art put this somewhere between Princess Posey and Alvin Ho for newly solo readers." —The Bulletin

"Chase captures the warmth and humor of elementary school-aged kids on summer break with accessible prose for emerging readers....A relatably insecure yet determined protagonist rides again; fans will cheer her on wholeheartedly." —Kirkus Reviews

"This is a lovely series with characters and problems that lots of young readers will be able to identify with, like navigating being in charge and being honest with friends. Tran’s adorable, bubbly art energizes the text." —School Library Journal
