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.

These books got my daughter to READ!

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.

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.

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!

Awesome for kids and adults

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.

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.

Great series for reluctant readers

Clementine is one of those kids who don't seem to be looking for trouble, but it finds her anyway. She's busy paying attention to the world around her, but not necessarily in a way that makes the grown-ups who surround her happy. My daughter found her ongoing internal conversation very funny and I heard her laugh out loud multiple times while reading this book. Clementine is bright, funny and spunky without being rude or snarky. The style reminds me a bit of the Roscoe Riley books for the younger set and is equally as charming.

which is a fantastic series for building confidence in young girls

My granddaughter, age 7, LOVES the Clementine series. She loves the entire Gooney Bird Series, which is a fantastic series for building confidence in young girls, while covering a broad spectrum of topics, both educational and emotional. However, now that she's reading the
Clementine Series, she said she likes her because "she's more like me."

Very refreshing character

Clementine is GREAT! I just enjoy reading young adult and children's books, and this one stands out because Ms. Pennypacker has created a very lively little girl who relates her escapades in both a candidly funny and droll sense of humor. I laugh every timeI read this book because she certainly knows how to be mischievous by accident.
