The Talented Clementine
Sara Pennypacker
Winner or washout? When it comes to tackling third grade, Clementine is
at the top of her game—okay, so maybe not all the time. After her
teacher announces that the third and fourth graders will be putting on a
talent show, Clementine panics. She doesn't sing or dance or play an
instrument. She can't even hop with finesse. And as if she didn't feel
bad enough, her perfect best friend, Margaret, has so many talents, she
has to alphabetize them to keep them straight… As the night of the big
'Talent-palooza' draws closer, Clementine is desperate for an act, any
act. But the unexpected talent she demonstrates at the show surprises
everyone--most of all herself. This Clementine sequel is sure to bring
the house down!

Clementine's Letter
Sara Pennypacker
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?

the class she is a friend. Clementine has to get a great booklet, so she
does what Margaret says. What begins as one of the best weeks ever may

Clementine and the Family Meeting
Sara Pennypacker
Clementine's having a nervous breakdown. The FAMILY MEETING! sign is up
in her house, and she just knows she's in trouble for something. Has she
been too mean to her little brother? Too sloppy? Eating too much junk
food? Try as she might to find out what's on the agenda, her parents
won't reveal anything before the meeting. As far as Clementine is
concerned, the agenda should be something like: 'We're getting a
gorilla.' But no, it's something entirely different. 'We're talking
about a new baby,' says her father. 'A brother or sister for you two.
What do you think about that?' NO THANKS! is what Clementine thinks.
After all, four is the perfect number for a family. There are four sides
to a table, not five. Will Clementine learn to make room for one more?
Readers will chuckle at Clementine's unique perspective on the age-old
issue of sibling rivalry.

with spring cleaning, and for going on the school trip to Plimoth
Plantation. Clementine is ready for Ye Olden Times, but she isn't so
sure about surviving lunch there-the fourth graders have strict rules
about no eating sounds. (What is
snicking, anyway? ) If that wasn't enough, Clementine also faces the
challenges of learning Olive-language and surviving The Cloud on Bus 7.Hearing
the pilgrim lady talk about why she made the long journey from England
makes Clementine think about rules. Who makes them, and what do they
mean to the people who have to live with them? Today Clementine has to
decide which rules are made to be broken.
