The Clementine Books
Clementine
In this first book of the series, Clementine tries to help
out her friend Margaret, but ends up in a lot of trouble
for it. Things get worse each day of the week, until finally
she's worried that Margaret is right: Clementine's parents
might consider her "the hard one" in the family.
They're up to something mysterious...are they thinking they'd
be better off if they only had her little vegetable-named
brother..."the easy one"?

The
Talented Clementine
The third and fourth graders are putting on a talent show
to raise money for the school's Spring Trip. Clementine
has plenty of talents, but not a single one that she can
perform on a stage. Margaret, on the other hand, has so
many she has to organize them alphabetically. As the night
of Talent Palooza draws closer, Clementine grows desperate
for an act - any act - she can perform. Meanwhile, at home,
shoes cause a big commotion...
Clementine's
Letter
Uh-oh! Clementine's teacher might be leaving the class,
after she's finally figured out how to get along in his
classroom. She hatches a plan to get him back, even if it
means ruining his chance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure...

Margaret makes Clementine worry that her classmates won't
find enough good things to write about her in her "Friend

Clementine
and the Family Meeting
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. As far as Clementine is concerned, the agenda
should be something like: "We're getting a gorilla."
But no, it's something entirely different.

Clementine
and the Spring Trip
For Clementine, spring is a really big deal. It's the time
for seeing her apple tree start to grow, for watching her
friend Margaret go crazy 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. If that wasn't enough, Clementine also
faces the challenges of learning Olive-language and surviving
The Cloud on Bus 7.

Completely
Clementine
Summer is coming, and Clementine is not ready. She is not ready to start speaking to her father again, because she's still mad at him for eating meat. Instead, she has to express her sadness by giving him drawings of animals she knows would not want to be somebody's dinner. Then there is the new baby on the way. Clementine's mom sure doesn't seem ready. She's suddenly crazy about cleaning (Dad says she is nesting), but she doesn't even have a name picked out yet. Clementine just hopes the baby won't be a dud. What Clementine really isn't ready for is saying good-bye to her third grade teacher. She knows Mr. D'Matz is going to tell her all kinds of things that aren't true. Everything else may be changing around her, but that doesn't mean that Clementine has. But which is worse, saying good-bye, or not saying good-bye?
