At first, I wasn't excited to read Donny and Mary Grace's California Adventures. I was a bit reluctant, but after finishing it, I concluded that it's one of the best books I've ever read. This is a children's book that is not just for kids but for adults too. I learned so much from it. The book made me feel emotional throughout.

Bullying is such a bad habit. The author shows how bullying can hurt someone deeply, making them feel sad, terrible, and intimidated. People may also won't want to associate with the bully. This means that both the bully and the victim suffer negative consequences. Catherine Anna Pepe addresses real-life problems in this book.

In Donny and Mary Grace's California Adventures by Catherine Anna Pepe, Donny and Mary Grace have to leave their home and friends to go live with their grandparents in sunny California. At their new school, Mary Grace makes new friends but also meets some kids who are not very nice. Donny and Mary Grace became victims of bullying. The book talks about how to be kind to everyone, even if they are different. It also tells us about kids who have special needs and how important it is to be friendly to them.

The book teaches the importance of family bonds, even when faced with challenges. It shows how family members support each other through difficult times. I commend Catherine Anna Pepe for highlighting the negative impact of bullying on both the victim and the bully. 

I humbly recommend Donny and Mary Grace's California Adventures to anyone who faces bullying; it's highly important they read it. I would recommend this book to parents too. The book exposes the challenges children face. Reading this book will make most parents understand and see things from the child's perspective at times and learn how to give them the proper support they need. I give this book a flawless 5 out of 5 stars. I can easily relate to the story. This book is exceptionally well edited. I searched for any area that needs improvement, but I couldn't find any.
