This New York Times bestselling chapter book series has been keeping readers engaged and laughing for more than a decade with over one million copies sold!

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 good friend. Clementine has to get a great booklet, so she does everything Margaret says she should do. But what begins as one of the best weeks ever starts turning into the worst, and being a good friend might turn out harder than Clementine thinks.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Starred Review. Grade 1-4 Clementine is back for another adventure as she is chosen to be Friend of the Week. The honor has many important responsibilities such as leading the Pledge of Allegiance, collecting milk money, being line leader, and feeding the fish. At the end of the week, the third grader will get a friend booklet signed by all of her classmates telling her how much they appreciate her. Clementine's best friend, fourth-grader Margaret, advises her to give compliments to classmates all week so she'll get good comments in her booklet. The following day Clementine starts giving them to every person she comes in contact with, primarily based on appearance, which doesn't always work out as she planned. Just as she looks forward to the best week ever, things take a turn for the worse when her kitten goes missing. She forgets all about her promises to decorate her classmates' bikes for a bike rally and is afraid they will be disappointed in her. Little does she know how much they support and love her. Pennypacker's writing once again brings creativity, humor, and sensitivity to Clementine and her world. Black-and-white line illustrations grace the book, capturing the child's personality and varied emotions. A must-have for most collections. Fans will be in for another fun serving of their favorite girl named after a fruit. Janet Weber, Tigard Public Library, OR

From Booklist

Popular Clementine is back, but the question is, how popular is she with her classmates? She’s been chosen Friend of the Week, but will the kids find enough nice things to write about in her friendship booklet? Best friend Margaret, a grade older, gets all weird when the topic of the booklet comes up. Pennypacker does a fine job of juggling a number of plotlines, especially when she ties the friendship booklet to Clementine’s missing kitten. Fans won’t be disappointed, and readers new to the series will enjoy this, too. Grades 2-4. --Ilene Cooper

Third-grader Clementine is gearing up for her reign as Friend of the Week. She will get to be the all-around helper in class and her classmates will sign her Friend of the Week booklet, writing reasons "why it's so great to have [her] around." All is well until fourth-grader Margaret brags that her own book was filled with compliments about her organization, cleanliness, and helpfulness. Clementine knows she won't get comments like those unless she takes action. Following Margaret's suggestion, our heroine sets out to pay compliments in order to guarantee some nice words in return. But, being Clementine, she has to do more, including drawing free-of-charge tattoos and promising all the decorations in her dad's closet for bicycle decorations for a bike rally. Clementine's campaign comes to a halt when her beloved kitten, Moisturizer, goes missing. Her new skills are now put to the real test as she, along with an unlikely helper, search for her pet. Readers will empathize with Clementine's emotional response to her missing cat and will cheer as she learns some things about herself and her best friend. Secondary characters, particularly older boy Mitchell and Clementine's understanding parents, add much to Clementine's life and make this a worthy addition to an already-excellent series. Horn Book"

Review

??“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.”—

During COVID, I have been reading every day via Skype to my 9 year old grandtwins. I researched to find things that they would like, and Clementine has been a part of our day for a few weeks now. We've read all of the books, and they have been absolutely spot on delightful, warm hearted, sweet, endearing, lovely. I highly recommend this series. Read them in order - they're a lot more fun that way. We still recall fond moments in the stories, and use some of her invented words. Don't miss this series. And as a surprise bonus - one of the characters (Waylon) has his own 3 book series; he was one of Clementine's friends, and she's part of his books. We're reading those now. These are absolutely wonderful.

The latest entry in an endearing series

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2010

Verified Purchase

The first reviewer gives away enough of the plot. I just want to say a few words about the quality of the series as a whole.
Sara Pennypacker is in the process of writing what may eventually be thought of as one of the best series for young readers in our time. Or she may evolve into someone who pounds out variations on the same formulaic plot. At this point, it is hard to tell. I am a great fan of these books and have read everyone of them to my daughters. This last one seemed to me to start to show signs that the author has perhaps stalled creatively.
So what is good about it? Clementine herself is funny, smart and very observant. My own girls love her and totally get her point of view. She is also remarkably kind-hearted. Combine that quality with her powers of observation and she always seems to know exactly the right thing to do to help people in the end.
I love her relationship with her brother. She refuses to call him by name. Instead she refers to him by an endless series of vegetable names. Her ability to never use the same name twice is awe-inspiring and displays a wry wit on the part of the author.
Another thing I like about the series is Clementine's friend Margaret. Margaret is a more complex character than Clementine and brings a sort of desperate self-assurance to every situation. I like the way Clementine regards her with both awe and annoyance. I think the author catches some of the nuances of the way young kids can be friends and occassional rivals.
Margaret and Clementine are really the center of the series. But Clementine's parents, Margaret's brother and especially Clementine's school principal all have their own charms and insights to offer.
And as mentioned by all the reviewers of the series the illustrations by Ms. Frazee are outstanding.
If you have young readers, especially girls, give this series a chance. I especially loved the second book, The Talented Clementine. But all of them are worth reading to and discussing with your young ones.

A fun and engaging series for young children - review of audio CD

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

My first grader has developed a fondness for this series, since listening to the Clementine audio CD. We plan on checking out the books as well. When third grader Clementine gets picked as friend of the week, she is predictably over the moon! The perks include being line leader, collecting lunch money, and feeding the classroom pet. But then, as always, Clementine goes a bit overboard. She gets her close friend Margaret to help her get on her classmates' good sides so that they will write wonderful things about her in the booklet that is customarily given out to the friend of the week. Will Clementine save her friendship with Margaret before it is too late?

The narration on the audio CD by Jessica Almasy is fun and credibly done, and is unabridged on two CDs, and runs for 2 hours.

P.S. Since my last review, I purchased the book for my daughter and she has finished reading it. She loves the story! My daughter said, "There are plenty of good lessons in here mom!"

7/8 yr old daughter LOVES the Clementine series. She states they're about a troublemaking girl who learns her lesson. She states the books are funny and entertaining, which draw her in to the point she doesn't want to put the "iPad (through kindle)" down.

I cannot praise this series of books enough. Sara's work is wonderful! My seven year old loves these, both to have me read them to her (more than once), and to read to herself. The stories are funny and unwind gently with depth and humour. The English is elegant, simple, funny, stylish and unpretentious. Its lovely stuff!
