Clementine can't believe her ears her beloved teacher, Mr. D'Matz, might be leaving them for the rest of the year to go on a research trip to Egypt! No other teacher has ever understood her impulsiveness, her itch to draw constantly, or her need to play "Beat the Clock" when the day feels too long. And in his place, he's left a substitute with a whole new set of rules that Clementine just can't figure out. The only solution, she decides, is to hatch a plan to get Mr. D'Matz back. If it means ruining her teacher's once-in-a-lifetime chance -- well, it's worth it. Isn't it?

These books got my daughter to READ!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

My daughter has struggled with reading and had no stamina to attempt a chapter book. The Clementine series has opened up the world of reading to her and we are SO grateful! She's always so excited to tell me what she read, and she can't wait to get the next book as soon as she finished the previous one. Clementine is very relatable to her and the book is written so well...engaging but not too long or confusing for young and/or struggling readers.

Laugh out loud hilarious

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 22, 2017

My then seven-year-old niece ran up to me one day and asked in an urgent tone if I had read Clementine. Confused and thinking of the fruit, I hesitatingly said, “No?” She ran off and returned seconds later, thrusting the book into my hands. She insisted I read it. I’m so glad I did!

Clementine is laugh out loud hilarious! I read the whole series within a week or so. It’s Junie B. Jones-ish, but on a higher reading level with a little more complex issues.

Now I read the first in the series with my fourth graders, and many of the kids will continue the series on their own.

Sometimes when the kids are reading to themselves, I’ll hear someone laugh out loud. I will glance over and often see that they are reading Clementine, and I will think back to that day my niece insisted I read this delightful book.

Clementine is my kind of gal.

My great granddaughter starts 3rd grade this year and she can read this book herself. I got it for her 8th birthday but will buy the rest of the series for Christmas. She carries it around with her. I wish there was a Clementine doll to go with the books. I remember Nancy Drew books when I was growing up so I am glad this generation has Clementine!

I gave my granddaughter the first two books when she started second grade. She loved them so I got her Book 3. She is a solid decoder reader and these books gave her some challenge but not too overwhelming.

This book is cute and my students love it

I am so glad that I decided to purchase this book as a read aloud for my classroom. My students can't wait for me to read another chapter. Both my girls and boys are interested in the story which is often a difficult task to accomplish. Clementine is a unique character and allows a lot of possibilities for discussions and tying in standards from the common core. My students are excited to read more books in the series.

Awesome for kids and adults

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2018

Best written kids book I’ve seen in a while. It really gets inside the head of a wild and brainy kid. It’s funny and surprising at every turn. I enjoy it as much as my 6yo daughter. TBH it’s a bit too crazy in parts. I skipped over Clementine’s description of how to fake washing your hands and get away with it.
