Clementine is a precocious young red-headed girl with a heart of gold. There are three Clementine books so far (Clementine, The Talented Clementine, Clementine's Letter), with another set to be published July 2010 (Clementine: Friend of the Week!).
Clementine is funny and gets into all sorts of misadventures, and every single one of these books ends with something so sweet that I start crying.
Ocean, age 7: I like it because Clementine is really funny.
Ezra, age 4: I like it because Clementine always gets good ideas.
