Pennypacker, S. (2006). Clementine. New York: Hyperion.
Clementine is a very humorous relastic fiction story written by Sara Pennypacker. The story goes through a week in the life Clementine a young 3rd grader. The main character is a fun loving and high energy. The setting in the story is Clementine's school and home. The conflict in this story would be self to self because when trying to help others she tends to get herself into trouble with her efforts.
This book reminded me of the book series Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park. The main character resembles an older version of the main character in Park's books Junie B. Jones with her humorous adventures and somewhat impulsive personality. Clementine is always getting in trouble for not paying attention or for not paying attention to what she is supposed to. Another character in this story is Clementine's friend Margaret. Margaret is the total opposite of Clementine which is a great addition to the story.
This book would be enjoyed by the students in my class. I think the characters in the story are very relatable to students and they would find the adventures they go on entertaining. Clementine finds it hard to behave in school and has a difficult time staying out of trouble. Clementine thinks she is "allergic to sitting still" which many students can relate to.
