Finding Grace by Alyssa Brugman is an intriguing story about Rachel, a girl who has just left school and thinks she knows everything. When Rachel gets her first job she is terrified of Grace the 'monster' she has to look after. Grace was in an accident and can no longer speak or do things without instruction. She seems to have dull, emotionless eyes that often stare right through rachel and scare her.
Throughout the book Rachel meets Graces friends who talk about their experiences with her and what they thought she was like, but who is she really? Who is Grace? Suddenly Rachel realises that she doesn't know everthing, infact she knows hardly anything especially about Grace.
The 'spooky box' which rachel finds in Graces closet is filled with letters and memories from her past. Will this help Rachel discover who Grace really is and find out the truth about her horrific accident.
I liked this book because it covers many themes including life,death and love. The start was hard to get into but well worth the wait, as many mysteries are revealed and resolved throughout the rest of the book. I recommend this novel not only to teenagers but to people of all ages because it is an inspirational story.
