I love Clementine. I loved the 1st book & I loved this one. Yes, it's different from the first one but it should be; the protagonist is a year or so older and so are her friends and family. It was funny and warm and I love that Clementine is allowed to be her incredible self by all of the adults in her life. Pennypacker is a very good writer--packs a lot into a small book. And of course Marla Frazee's illustrations are great. I'm a huge fan.

Can I just say that I loved that Clementine's talent was, ultimately, to be the stage manager? As a stage manager myself, it was great to see it recognized and appreciated as a talent in this little girl.

Clementine is in the third grade. The third grade is putting on a talent show. Clementine has NO talent. Well, no talent that she can think of, or that she could perform at the talent show. She's great at drawing, but how do you do that on stage? She's great at thinking up ideas, but that's not a performable talent, either.
Clementine gets in trouble a lot--her attention wanders, and she doesn't always think things through before she acts on her ideas. She's extremely smart, though, and as it turns out, she's great at seeing problems before they emerge; she makes a fantastic director.
This is a really funny little book, and Clementine reminds me of a more sophisticated Junie B. Jones. There's a hilarious incidence of shoe shopping, and many, many great one-liners.

I don't really enjoy books about school talent shows, so I found this book less interesting than the first one in the series, but I still gave it five stars because Clementine makes interesting word plays and the ending is too sweet.

Haha, so charming! I laughed out loud more than once. Loved the illustrations too, especially the principal. :-)

I read this today while I waited for my phone to charge to at least thirty percent and man what a great read.
