Student Book Review: Clementine by Sara Pennypacker

Have you ever had a week that went terribly wrong? Well, this book for sure will relate to you my friend. I love this book so much because it is very humorous as well as heart-warming. This book is written by Sara Pennypacker.  

This is about a girl named Clementine, who is a not-so-common third grader, and who is constantly being told that she needs to pay attention in class. On the contrary, she pays attentions to shrewd things, like looking for ceiling snakes. In this book, Clementine gets in trouble for cutting off her best friend’s hair. From this problem onwards, she has to face other problems along the week, like Clementine loosing her best friend, or she thinking that her parents are giving her away. These are some of the problems that she faces; although there are many more problems that can be counted. Also, she is not understood by her teachers in school.

Clementine reminds me of myself because Clementine yells at the principal and I yell at my brother many times. Also I like scaring off birds and Clementine helps her dad scare off the pigeons. There is no movie based on this book and, I have not read the other Clementine books in the series. My favorite part in the book is when Clementine makes a hat for her best friend Margaret which shows how powerful friendship is.

My rating for this book is 5 stars out of 5 (*****out of *****). I gave this rating because it has a wonderful story, with twists and turns. Also this book is has suspense and it has heart-warming moments.
