Publisher Description

This week is going to be the best ever for Clementine. She' s been chosen as Friend of the Week in her third grade class-- and she' s bubbling with excitement! This great honor means you get to be a line leader, collect lunch money from everyone, and feed the fish. It also means the other kids will give her a nifty booklet saying what they like about her. What could be better than that? Hoping to get the most glowing, perfect booklet ever, Clementine gets her friend Margaret to help her come up with ways to get on her classmates' good sides. But when Clementine' s plans don' t work out, she has to try extra hard to repair her friendship with Margaret. This peppy addition to Sara Pennypacker' s critically acclaimed series will have young listeners cheering and giggling. Narrator Jessica Almasy keeps the pace light and fun, while voicing the adventures of this fan-favorite heroine. " What is not to like about the spirited Clementine?"-- Children' s Literature

"I must admit that I find the Clementine series very charming. Sara Pennypacker (which, might I add is the best last name ever) writes an interesting story which children can relate too, without making the mistake of being overly sentimental. I very much enjoy looking at the world through Clementine's eyes."

    " Pennypacker continues to deliver sweet, appealing stories about the red-headed everygirl Clementine. There is a certain element of 2/3/4th grade kids who just eat this series up, and I love the fact that they're not coming out so quickly that their quality is compromised. This time around, we follow Clementine through the experience of being "friend of the week" in class, and the tragedy of her lost kitten. Adults who have one of those quirky kids who can't quite conform should give Clementine a read, just to get an idea what MIGHT be going on in that head of theirs. It often makes perfect sense to THEM. "

    " If Clementine's parents lived in the real world, I would fantasize about punching each of them in the nose while I fumed behind them in the line at the grocery store as they painstakingly filled their canvas tote with carrot juice and organic VirtueBars. As it is, they are safely ensconced between the covers of a book, and they have a really charming daughter. The series, though, may be approaching shark-jumping waters. "

    " Clementine and Mitchell are the best. This is the great thing about Mitchell. Whenever I ask him to do something, he says, "Sure!" even if it's something he could get in trouble for. If I ever want a boyfriend -- which I will not -- he will say "Sure!" to anything I suggest. "

    " Clementine at her best. Funny, sweet, sensitive. I love Clementine's imagination - who else would, when her friend asks for a goat "tattoo", draw a bush and tell her friend that the goat was behind it? But it's how Clementine deals with the disappearance of her cat that was most poignant. "

    " Very nearly as good as Ramona! The first-person narrative makes it a little less genuine, and there are a few language affectations that might get a little tiresome after a couple books, but Clementine is a great character.
