Clementine
by Sara Pennypacker
Susie Wilde (Children's Literature)
Meet Clementine, a third grader who usually can be found in the principal s office, whose younger brother has an ordinary name--not the name of a fruit--so she is likely to call him Broccoli. She is such a loyal friend to fourth grader Margaret that she helps her cut off all her hair and paint it green with permanent markers. Clementine is creative enough to make glasses out her bologna and single handedly win the war against pigeons that has her super father going crazy. This is a great new series for Junie B. Jones lovers! 2006, Hyperion, $14.99. Ages 6 to 9.
