Synopsis

This delightful New York Times bestselling chapter book series, from the award-winning author of Pax, is a modern classic that has been keeping readers 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'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 sibling 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?

Love how Clementine des......more

Here we are at book #5 in this new series, and Clementine is still as humorous, realistic, and refreshing as ever. I just love this kid. Family Meetings usually mean Clementine is in trouble. But not this time. This time the news might even be worse than getting in trouble: there's going to be a new......more

Okay, I need to stop listing these shorter children's books that Andrew and I have been enjoying; however, I can't avoid listing Pennypacker's newest Clementine. Andrew and I continue to love Clementine and all her nuttiness. I'm quite certain that author writes this series with us in mind.......more

I received an advanced reader’s copy of Clementine and The Family Meeting by Sarah Pennypacker from NetGalley. I am always excited when a new Clementine adventure is published.
