Review: CLEMENTINE by Sara Pennypacker

So many of my book recommendations these days have come from the Storymakers '13 conference, and this one is no exception. Even though I had to leave Becca Wilhite's humor class early, I was able to stay long enough for her to recommend a couple books I knew would be fantastic, and CLEMENTINE was one of them.

From Amazon: Clementine is having not so good of a week.

• On Monday she’s sent to the principal’s office for cutting off Margaret’s hair.
• Tuesday, Margaret’s mother is mad at her.
• Wednesday, she’s sent to the principal…again.
• Thursday, Margaret stops speaking to her.
• Friday starts with yucky eggs and gets worse.
• And by Saturday, even her mother is mad at her.

 Okay, fine. Clementine is having a DISASTROUS week.

Audience: Children, 7-10

Genre: Chapter Book

Length: 160 pgs.

Rating: ***** (Really Liked It)

Review: Okay, fine. I LOVED this book. I checked it out from the library and started reading it with my 7-year-old. It's summer, he didn't want to spend all day reading. (Whaaat?) So I finished it myself. (It took all of an hour I think...) Fantastic. The voice is so awesome, so humorous. The parts my 7-year-old did read with me, he giggled and giggled.
