This delightful New York Times bestselling chapter book series, from the award-winning author of Pax, is a modern classic that has been keeping readers engaged and laughing as they follow the hijinks of Clementine, a clever and quirky third grader who’s the most spectacular friend around. Perfect for fans of Amelia Bedelia and Ivy + Bean!

Clementine is NOT having a good week.

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

Okay, fine. Clementine is having a DISASTROUS week. But maybe she can find a way to make it better.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017

    My then seven-year-old niece ran up to me one day and asked in an urgent tone if I had read Clementine. Confused and thinking of the fruit, I hesitatingly said, “No?” She ran off and returned seconds later, thrusting the book into my hands. She insisted I read it. I’m so glad I did!

    Clementine is laugh out loud hilarious! I read the whole series within a week or so. It’s Junie B. Jones-ish, but on a higher reading level with a little more complex issues.

    Now I read the first in the series with my fourth graders, and many of the kids will continue the series on their own.

    Sometimes when the kids are reading to themselves, I’ll hear someone laugh out loud. I will glance over and often see that they are reading Clementine, and I will think back to that day my niece insisted I read this delightful book.

    My daughter has struggled with reading and had no stamina to attempt a chapter book. The Clementine series has opened up the world of reading to her and we are SO grateful! She's always so excited to tell me what she read, and she can't wait to get the next book as soon as she finished the previous one. Clementine is very relatable to her and the book is written so well...engaging but not too long or confusing for young and/or struggling readers.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Clementine is one of those kids who don't seem to be looking for trouble, but it finds her anyway. She's busy paying attention to the world around her, but not necessarily in a way that makes the grown-ups who surround her happy. My daughter found her ongoing internal conversation very funny and I heard her laugh out loud multiple times while reading this book. Clementine is bright, funny and spunky without being rude or snarky. The style reminds me a bit of the Roscoe Riley books for the younger set and is equally as charming.

    My great granddaughter starts 3rd grade this year and she can read this book herself. I got it for her 8th birthday but will buy the rest of the series for Christmas. She carries it around with her. I wish there was a Clementine doll to go with the books. I remember Nancy Drew books when I was growing up so I am glad this generation has Clementine!
