Clementine has been picked for Friend of the Week, which means she gets to be line leader, collect the milk money, and feed the fish. Even better, she'll get a Friend of the Week booklet in which all the other third grade kids will write why they like her. Clementine's best friend Margaret has all sorts of crazy ideas for how Clementine can prove to the class she is a friend. Clementine "has" to get a great booklet, so she does what Margaret says. What begins as one of the best weeks ever may turn out to be the worst. Who knew that being a friend could be so hard?

??“Humorous scenarios tumble together, blending picturesque dialogue with a fresh
perspective as only the unique Clementine can offer. Frazee’ engaging pen-andink
drawings capture the energy and fresh-faced expressions of the irrepressible
heroine. A delightful addition to any beginning chapter-book collection.”—
School Library Journal (starred review)
“Reminiscent of both Ramona and Junie B. Jones, Clementine is an ingenuous thirdgrader
with a talent for trouble and a good heart. Frazee’s expressive ink drawings
capture every nuance of the characters’ emotions, from bemusement to anger to
dejection. Sometimes touching and frequently amusing, this engaging chapter book is
well suited to reading alone or reading aloud to a roomful of children.” —
Booklist
For
The Talented Clementine:
“Recommenders hoping to turn indifferent readers into voracious ones often reach
first for solid, funny chapter-book series; this follow-up to
Clementine proves that
Pennypacker’s deserves a place alongside those by Johanna Hurwitz, Beverly Cleary,
and Megan MacDonald. Frazee’s polished, warm-spirited line drawings, not all seen,
capture the endearing idiosyncrasies of its heroine, who will equally charm returning
readers and those meeting her for the first time.”—
Booklist
For
Clementine’s Letter:
?
?“[S]he shines with a vibrant spirit that can never be completely extinguished, even
when she is feeling down. Frazee’ pen-and-ink drawings perfectly capture Clementine’
personality and her world.”—
