Clementine by Sara Pennypacker

3.0

LPLD 3rd realistic booktalk
Everyone has a bad day from time to time, but a bad week? A bad month? Only Clementine can manage to be in the middle of a disaster every single day.
Everything starts off quite nicely and innocently when Clementine discovers her friend Margaret curled up on the floor under a sink in the bathroom, crying because she cut a chunk of hair off her own head. Wanting only to help the distraught and upset Margaret, Clementine picks up the scissors again and begins to cut.
But her good intentions go wrong, and Margaret’s new, very close-cropped do (shorter than mine and Sharon’s!) causes quite the problem and Clementine finds herself once again warming the seat in the principal’s office. Things can’t get any worse than that, can they?
Oh, but they can. Read Clementine and other books in her series to find out how… but it’s not all serious disaster – you’ll be laughing out loud as you read.
