Clementine by Sara Pennypacker

4.0

Yayyyy Clementine! I've wanted to read this book ever since it came out. The fun and "orangey-ness" of the cover totally appealed to me, and I heard lots of praise for this chapter books featuring an irreverent little girl. Except I had to deal with that thing called college and that thing called keeping up a YA book blog.... Anyway, the point being, I finally got to read this with an ELL310 class. It maybe wasn't quite as delightful as I had wanted it to be--some of the scrapes that Clementine gets herself into had me slapping my jaded adult forehead in dismay at her lack of forethought--but I think it's still safe to say that CLEMENTINE could be the female answer to [b:Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing|37741|Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (Fudge, #1)|Judy Blume|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348056399s/37741.jpg|879886], a juvenile fiction favorite of mine. Definitely recommended to all elementary school-aged girls!
