Every time Grace tries to leap, she falls. She refuses to quit. As she practices for her ballet recital, she crashes through a fence and crushes some milkweed plants-the only place the monarch butterfly will lay her eggs. After Grace rescues a broken plant, she finds three monarch eggs. She decides to help the future butterflies grow. How hard could that be? Very-if you have teasing brothers, doubting friends, humiliating dance rehearsals, and can't find milkweed. But monarchs need more than milkweed, they need safe habitats.

Can Grace persuade her friends and family to help the monarchs? Can she start a Butterfly Effect, so the monarchs-and Grace-can become who they were meant to be?
