Her best friend Margaret has a strong personality, too. I know there are some who find her a bit cloying, but I love that she has such a strong personality. Frazee's illustrations weren't final in the galley I read, but the rough sketches look to be spot-on, as always. This final book in the series is no exception. Pennypacker has a knack for capturing the day-to-day interactions and concerns of childhood without making them feel mundane or inconsequential-in fact, she's great at getting her readers to feel 100% on Clementine's side, no matter what. The Review: True to form, Clementine rocks her kid logic and her prone-to-light-mischief flair. That's a lot for a girl to handle during the last week of school! Meanwhile, her mother is close to giving birth to her new sibling she's giving her dad the silent treatment and her best friend Margaret is a bit wedding crazy. The Synopsis: Clementine is about to wrap up her year in third grade, a transition that she doesn't quite feel ready for. The Stats: Completely Clementine by Sara Pennypacker and illustrated by Marla Frazee, released Mafrom Disney-Hyperion This review marks the first in a series of posts on books I'm looking forward to in 2015.
