Narrated by: Jessica Almasy

A New York Times Bestseller • Winner of the 2007 Boston Globe/Horn Book Honor • A 2006 School Library Journal Best Book of Year • A 2006 Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year

This delightful New York Times bestselling chapter book series, from the award-winning author of Pax, is a modern classic that has been keeping audiences engaged and laughing as they follow the hijinks of Clementine, a clever and quirky third grader who’s the most spectacular friend around. Perfect for fans of Amelia Bedelia and Ivy + Bean!

Clementine is NOT having a good week.

On Monday she’s sent to the principal’s office for cutting off Margaret’s hair. On Tuesday, Margaret’s mother is mad at her. On Wednesday, she’s sent to the principal, again. On Thursday, Margaret stops speaking to her. Then Friday starts with yucky eggs and only gets worse. And by Saturday, even her mother is mad at her.

Okay, fine. Clementine is having a DISASTROUS week. But maybe she can find a way to make it better.

*"A delightful addition to any beginning chapter-book collection."—School Library Journal, starred review

Critic reviews

Audie Award Winner, Children's Titles—Ages 8-11, 2008

"A sweet family life...serves as the foundation for the story, which charts a tough week for Clementine, involving badly cut (and marker-dyed) hair, trouble with the principal, and a spat with a best friend." (Child magazine)

"Fans of Judy Moody will welcome this portrait of another funny, independent third-grader." (Publishers Weekly)
