Clementine and the Family Meeting

Clementine, a high energy 3rd grader, finds it difficult to concentrate as her teacher would have her do, often getting Clementine into trouble. Clementine’s narration exudes her originality, spirit, and vivacity — echoed in expressive black & white line drawings.

Meet Clementine, a 3^rd grader with enough energy to land her into trouble with great frequency. Her everyday adventures continue in other books.

Clementine is looking forward to the school field trip to Plimoth Plantation and other signs of spring her family’s Annual Spring Walk Through Boston Common. But things don’t always go the way the lively 3rd grader anticipates in the latest story about likeable, energetic Clementine.

Impetuous Clementine is concerned that she’ll lose her much loved 3rd grade teacher, Mr. D’Matz, when he’s recommended to study in Egypt for a year. Clementine cooks up a letter to assure that Mr. D’Matz doesn’t get the fellowship. Humor abounds in this third book about spontaneous, likeable, and ultimately honorable Clementine.

Clementine is back, this time named her 3rd grade classroom’s Friend of the Week. Things don’t go as planned, of course, but Clementine figures out more about true friendship in this latest book featuring the energetic, irrepressible, and always likeable heroine.

Clementine hates change. And there’s a lot of change about to happen: summer is approaching and the end of third grade means goodbye to her beloved teacher, Mr. D’Matz. Plus her family expects a new baby. Like other books in the series, this seventh and final one is sure to cause laughter as Clementine works to come out successfully on the other side of change.

Clementine is back, this time wondering what special thing she might do in the school’s talent show. Line drawings add verve to the oh-so-plausible, often funny story of how Clementine finds her special skill.
