Clementine’s voice is your voice.” I scoffed at that, and later repeated her ridiculous observation to a friend. When I was beginning the second Clementine I moaned (theatrically, I’m afraid) at a writing meeting that “now I’ll have to find her voice again.” One of my critique partners said, “Come on, Sara.

I was lucky enough to ask Sara Pennypacker a few questions about writing the Clementine series as part of the blog tour:ĭo you and Clementine share any personality traits?

A wonderful addition to any library and perfect for early chapter book readers. Readers who have visited Clementine before will love reading about another adventure in her life and readers new to the series will want to go back and visit with Clementine again. The special gift they are making her mom is so sweet and adorable I wanted to reach through the book and give both of them a hug! Clementine is just so fun to be around I love escaping into her world for awhile!Ĭlementine and the Spring Trip is another wonderful entry into the Clementine Series. I adore her friend Margaret and her clean obsession (one I wish I shared! Margaret can come clean my house any day!) Clementine's parents are also so loveable and likable and I love watching their relationship unfold throughout the story-and I especially love her relationship with her father. She may be surrounded by some eccentric characters but they don't feel out of place or eccentric in Clementine's world-they work. But Clementine is able to figure things out and she makes it through-no matter what. Her adventures feel realistic, her observations on life and her thoughts on family, friends and school match young readers perfectly and she's just a lot of fun to read about! I loved her story in the Spring Trip-she reminded me a lot of myself at that age-worrying about things at school. Clementine's voice is pitch perfect for readers looking for early chapter books. I feel like I know Clementine and her family and I love reading about them. What I love about the Clementine books is that just feel real. But Clementine is really worried about the eating sounds that her friend Margaret has warned her about-the fourth graders have a rule about making noise while you eat and Margaret won't even tell Clementine about what will happen if she makes noise! And there's a chance they might have to ride the smelliest bus on the field trip! She's hoping there is a lot of doing suff there, not just looking stuff. In Clementine and the Spring Trip, Clementine is feeling a bit nervous about her upcoming class trip to Plimoth Plantation. When they tell me they want something realistic and funny, I always point them to the Clementine Series by Sara Pennypacker. I love when a young beginning reader comes into the library looking for a new book to read. One of the joys of being a librarian is introducing readers to books.
