Clementine

When I was young, I LOVED the Ramona books written by Beverly Clearly. I recently read one of the Clementine books by Sara Pennypacker. Clementine very much reminded me of Ramona. She is smart and sassy 3rd grader, her adventures are fun to read and she is easy to relate to. In Completely Clementine, Clementine is NOT speaking to her father due to the fact that he ate a hamburger. Her mother is about to have a baby, too. She does not want summer to come because that will mean Mr. D'Matz will not be her 3rd grade teacher anymore. She doesn't want to say goodbye. How will Clementine deal with all that is changing in her life? This book reminded me of those Ramona books I loved so much as a girl.
