Rating - 3.5/5

Clementine is the tale of a young girl trying to get through everyday life situations. She is always getting in trouble at school for not paying attention or cutting her best friend's hair. She just wants to help but always seems to cause more problems. In the end, she thinks that her parents are planning to get rid of her. But really, they are just planning a party for Clementine to celebrate her helpfulness.

This story is very funny, sometimes laugh at loud funny. The book is written with many run-on sentences in a manner that a talkative child would speak. That style is cute, but can easily get annoying. Overall, the book was a lot of fun to read.
