This book is so sweet! I read it as a child and wanted to pick it up again—it’s one of those books that’s good for every age. Hilarious, sweet, and character-driven. One of my favorite parts was the focus on the many characters in Clementine’s world: her parents and her brother, her friend, Margaret, and Margaret’s family, the people who live in her apartment building, her principal at school... You see every character so clearly through Clementine’s eyes, and it’s so fun!
It’s a lighthearted story, but it also deals with some more complex issues: the loss of a pet, issues with friends, trouble concentrating at school, self-acceptance, comparison, and family.
