Clementine by Sara PennypackerMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
I checked this book out from the library and went back to purchase it. It is a really cute chapter book about a girl who is trying to do the right thing, but it doesn't always work out. I loved this book for the "realness." Clementine doesn't live in a mansion with servants and two doting parents. She lives in the real world with real problems, but she works hard and is rewarded for her efforts. I also like the fact I don't mind my child reading this book. Many books have subject matter I am not comfortable with my seven-year-old exploring. Clementine is just a sweet story. Her behavior while not perfect is what you might expect from a child. Pennypacker has a real gift with words. I can't wait to get my hands on more of her work.
