Clementine

by Sara Pennypacker

While sorting through difficulties in her friendship with her neighbor Margaret, eight-year-old Clementine gains several unique hairstyles while also helping her father in his efforts to banish pigeons from the front of their apartment building.

Sara Pennypacker creates a nice, crazy, and fun-loving third grade girl. Her life includes interesting adventures: her attempt to make her friend Margaret's hair look decent, her strange, yet often conversations with the principal, and more! If I didn't know this story was realistic fiction, I would have thought it was true! Sara Pennypacker really captures the life of a girl named Clementine.
