Review PRAISE FOR CLEMENTINE *"Give this to readers of Cleary and Blume and cross your fingers for more." "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)""PRAISE FOR CLEMENTINE AND THE SPRING TRIP ." . .we have classic Clementine. Not only does she solve the mystery of the smelly bus but she also figures out why fussy Margaret is so neurotic and realizes that a new student might be a new friend. Clementine's voice is growing more sophisticated as she gets older, but it's still true to her age and her fans' ages, too."
