Movie/Book Differences

Character Differences

• Sylvie is not fluent in English in the books. In the movie, she is.
• Mr. Hammond, Destiny, and other characters are not in the movie.

Plot Differences

• Grace was not on MasterChef Junior in the books. Instead, she submitted a recipe for a baking contest and received a phone call announcing she won.
• Grace didn't take Bonbon home in the movie; when her French relatives visited Bentwick, they brought Bonbon along. It is not clear whether Grace got to keep Bonbon. In the books, Grace picks up and keeps Bonbon.
• While Grace was in Paris, her friends started a dog grooming business. In the book, they start a dog-walking business.
• Grace and Maddy don't argue about making it right in the movie. Instead, Grace feels left out that her friends want to do the business without her and tells them they won't be able to handle it without her, which offends Maddy.
• In the movie, Grace, Ella, and Maddy started a cupcake business before Grace left for Paris. In the books, they started a French-baking business after Grace came back from Paris.
• In the movie, Grace tries to get Jean-Luc Pernaurd to get Uncle Bernard to work for him; this is not present in the books.
