Clementine's back and better than ever. Just as soon as Clementine was getting the hang of third grade (she hadn't been sent to the principal's office in a week!), she learns that Mr. D'Matz is a finalist in a contest for a trip to Egypt. He'll be gone all week at the judging and if he wins, he could be going to Egypt for the rest of the year! There's no way Clementine's going to let that happen, especially after she meets her new substitute teacher. Mrs. Nagel has changed all the rules and Clementine keeps getting into trouble. When the principal asks the kids in Clementine's class to write letters to the judges telling them why Mr. D'Matz should win the contest, Clementine gets a brilliant idea. But will her idea work? Can she survive the third grade without Mr. D'Matz? And what other trouble will Clementine get into?
Another hit in the Clementine series. I'm not normally a big fan of series, but these are excellent. I loved how the bond between teacher and student is portrayed and how the conflict is eventually resolved. Clementine's got real spirit and creativity and, although her ideas sometimes result in disasters, her heart's always in the right place.

Of the three Clementine books I've read this month, I liked this one the best.

In the best possible world, you could listen to Clementine on audio while also enjoying Marla Frazee's illustrations. Sadly, I listened in the car and missed the pictures. But I still love Clementine and recommend her in whatever format you can get your hands on!

I didn't think that this third book in the Clementine series was as funny as the first two, but you still have to love her!

I'm kind of ready to be done with Clementine but my nine yr old isn't. It's starting to be like We get it Clementine, you're wacky, you're reckless, you have good intentions. What I do like is her family. She has good parents, and a good teacher too. The adults in these books have kind of obnoxiously excelerated emotional intelligence. No one is ever *that* good, but it's a nice world, and I feel like I get some parenting pointers in reading this series

Clementine just keeps getting better and better in this third installment. Her third grade teacher is nominated in a contest to spend the rest of the year learning in Egypt. Clementine doesn't want him to go so she writes a letter to get him kicked out.
