Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three things:
1. She is not crazy.
2. Her mother was murdered.
3. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay.
As certain as Grace is about these facts, nobody else believes her -- so there's no one she can completely trust. Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not Alexei, the Russian boy next door, who is keeping his eye on Grace for reasons she neither likes nor understands.
Everybody wants Grace to put on a pretty dress and a pretty smile, blocking out all her unpretty thoughts. But they can't control Grace -- no more than Grace can control what she knows or what she needs to do. Her past has come back to hunt her . . . and if she doesn't stop it, Grace isn't the only one who will get hurt. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world stand like dominoes, and one wrong move can make them all fall down.

Where Grace's grandfather lives if you disturb the neighbors there probably will be a war. Welcome to Embassy Row where dozens of countries send their ambassadors and where the family to the right and left of your house are probably from Russia and Japan.Grace saw her mother die when she was 13, now 16 she has come to live with her ambassador grandfather who she hasn't seen in 3 years. But Grace knows something that everyone else doesn't. Her mother was murdered.Grace tries to tell people what she saw so they can track down the man but everyone just thinks she is crazy even her grandfather, father, and brother. But Gracie knows what she saw and can't escape the past of her mother. And when there are signs that the man who killed Grace's mother is at the embassy things could get bad.
This book is awesome. I read it actually before the summer and it was epic. And I didn't just like because the main character's name was Grace and my name is grace. Ok.. it might have something to do with it. But thats beside the point. Grace lives in the Embassy Row. The embassy row is a place with all the world's embassys. So one wrong move and you could start another world war. Everything is going fine until Grace finds her mother's murderer. Or thinks she does.
I think this book was alright at the beginning, but towards the end I could not stop reading it. When I got to the part about the scarred man not actually killing the mom but the girl. I had to close the book after that chapter. I really want to read the sequel.
I have just read this book and it was weird. Grace is crazy, she does all sorts of strange things. She has been injured many times. She witnessed her mother's death. The ending is amazing. I definitely recommend reading it.
All Fall Down is an amazing mystery/thriller. It keeps you coming back for more. The book is about a girl Grace who saw her mother get murdered. Everyone is telling her she is crazy that her mother just died in an accident. So, her father sends her to live with her grandfather on embassy row. While there she is sure she see the scared man that killed her mother. Ms. Carter has a way of putting you in her head, so you feel everything she is feeling. This book has so many twists and turns, you will be begging for more. The ending will shock you! I never saw the ending coming! I HIGHLY recommend this book. It is one of the best books I ever read.
This book was great! It was really interesting to see into Grace's mind. I loved the ending and it totally caught me by surprise. Would recommend this book to anyone who likes action and excitement!
