The Totally True Story of Gracie Byrne

It’s 1987, and sixteen-year-old Gracie Byrne wishes her life were different. Shy and awkward, she has trouble fitting in at her new school, she’s still reeling from her parents’ divorce, and her grandmother’s Alzheimer’s is getting worse. So when Gracie finds a blank journal she begins writing stories about herself. But then the hot guy in her art class describes a dream he had about her—the exact scene she wrote about him—and Gracie realizes that she can create any reality she wants, from acing tests to winning the attention of her classmates. But as her ability grows stronger, Gracie starts to second-guess what’s real—especially when it comes to a budding relationship with her cute neighbour, Tom.
