This delightful New York Times bestselling chapter book series, from the award-winning author of Pax, is a modern classic that has been keeping readers engaged and laughing as they follow the hijinks of Clementine, a clever and quirky third grader who's the most spectacular friend around. Perfect for fans of Amelia Bedelia and Ivy + Bean!

Summer is coming, and Clementine is not ready. She is not ready to start speaking to her father again, because she's still mad at him for eating meat. Instead, she gives him drawings of animals she knows would not want to be somebody's dinner.

Then there is the new baby on the way. Clementine's mom sure doesn't seem ready. She's suddenly crazy about cleaning (Dad says she is nesting), but she doesn't even have a name picked out yet. Clementine just hopes the baby won't be a dud.

What Clementine really isn't ready for is saying good-bye to her third grade teacher. She knows Mr. D'Matz is going to tell her all kinds of things that aren't true. Everything else may be changing around her, but that doesn't mean that Clementine has.

But which is worse, saying good-bye, or not saying good-bye?

      Gr 2-4-Clementine faces a host of rising fourth-grader issues as the school year ends. She's feuding with her father over his refusal to become a vegetarian like the rest of the family, she can't bring herself to say goodbye to her third-grade teacher, and the family's new baby is due soon and they haven't even chosen a name yet. Picking the baby's name should be easy, but her other problems are more serious. She's avoided her teacher and given her dad the silent treatment for so long that she begins to regret it-but it's so hard to stop! Clementine and her friends sometimes exhibit the concerns of adults (school friends worry about future wedding plans), but Clementine's steadfast good nature and silliness are endearing and relatable. Jessica Almasy narrates, bringing infectious enthusiasm to Clementine's usually upbeat and slightly sassy personality. Other character voices are clearly defined, with Clementine's parents sounding especially authentic. VERDICT Fans of the series and kids ready to move up from Junie B. Jones will enjoy. ["This last title in the popular and laugh-out-loud chapter book series is a must-have for library collections": SLJ 2/1/15 review of the Disney-Hyperion book.]-Lisa Taylor, Ocean County Library, NJ

      In this seventh and final installment of the series, change is afoot, and Clementine is in the thick of it. Reader Almasy captures the big-hearted, earnest first-person voice of Pennypacker's heroine (which mitigates the absence of Marla Frazee's spirited illustrations in the audiobook format). Characterization and expression come through loud and clear as Clementine grapples with everything from the end of the school year to the birth of a new sibling. Just as Clementine resists saying goodbye to her beloved teacher Mr. D'Matz, loyal fans will not want to bid farewell to this series. megan dowd lambert
