Donny and Mary Grace's California Adventure by Catherine A. Pepe is an adventure book. It contained 17 chapters and 392 pages. The book centered on Mary and Donny, her brother. Donny, Mary, and their parents were on a fun-filled adventure at the Sedgwick County zoo in Wichita when suddenly Donny was declared missing. The fact that Donny was a five-year-old boy with Down syndrome not only disorganized his parents but also made them fearful and complicated the situation.

However, his disappearance became a blessing after he was found unharmed, and the situation earned him special recognition among the people and management of the zoo. Donny and his sister enjoyed special care and love from their parents throughout their period of vacation. However, their moment of joy was cut short when their parents told them that they would be relocating to California to stay with their grandparents because the church had demanded their service in Angola, Africa. Will Mary Grace and Donny survive without their parents? To find out, read this interesting book.

There are many positive aspects to this book. First, I admire Donny and Mary Grace's parents' unwavering and selfless love and support for humanity. For instance, their decision to leave the security of their home, job, friends, and family to take on the greater and more unpredictable task of serving humanity in Angola, Africa, was both great and unbelievable.

Another thing I admired about this book was the role and excellent tactics deployed by Donny's grandparents in catching the candy thieves, as well as the solution provided in solving the subsequent problem of burglary at Lyndsey's candy shop. Furthermore, I appreciate the use and importance of social media in disseminating information about Donny's sudden disappearance from the zoo. This demonstrates the importance and effectiveness of social media in quickly reaching a large number of people in an emergency. I believe readers will benefit greatly from this.

There was nothing about this book that I didn't like. It was an excellent and interesting read. I did not encounter any errors, which means this book was exceptionally edited. Given this, I rate Donny and Mary Grace's California Adventure by Catherine A. Pepe 4 out of 4 stars. It is worthless for me to give a lower rating because it was enjoyable and there was no reason to do so. I recommend this book to lovers of adventure books.

I actually thought this children's book was a brief one with a simple story and illustrations, but it's more than that, like an experience. Mary Grace watches out for her kid brother who has Down syndrome and it was beautiful to see.
