For the Young at Heart
Clementine is a wonderful humorous read. I really enjoy the book and the pen and ink drawings by Marla Frazee. I love this book because it reminded me of Beverly Cleary's Ramona the Brave, and Junie B. Jones.
Reviews
Clementine, a not-so common third grader, knows her way around the principal's office as well as she does the art-supply closet.

As Clementine has, spectacularful ideas are always sproinging up in my brain. All the better for readers who like to laugh.
