Gracie wins Elvis' heart with her open acceptance of him. Elvis has a hard time believing Emma is attracted to him though. However, when a rash of attacks against Emma's possessions ends with Gracie being injured, Elvis steps in to take care of his girls. I loved this book. First of all, there's three year old, Gracie.
Kids can add a lot to a book.
They allow the author to show you sides to a character that you wouldn't see with only adult interaction. In this particular book, Gracie just makes you smile through teary eyes. Elvis' name was a bit of a stumbling block but it is quickly overcome by his personality. There is a great scene between Elvis and Gracie that had me tearing up. I like the way the characters' voices are written.
