"Told in Child's familiar stream-of-consciousness style and punctuated
with creative vocabulary. . . . Clarice is quickly stepping out from
behind the shadow of other witty characters such as Junie B. Jones." --
School Library Journal
It's the worry you hadn't even thought to worry about that should worry
you the most. At least that's how it looks to Clarice Bean, who has been
writing her worries in a notebook -- things like Worry no. 1: infinity,
or Worry no. 3: change. And now that her worst never-imagined worry has
happened -- her utterly best friend is moving away forever -- Clarice
doesn't even care about her tickets to the Ruby Redfort, girl detective,
movie premiere. That is, unless something happens to change things
again. . . . Lauren Child's trademark wit combines with spot-on insight
in this hugely engaging story about childhood worries, unwanted changes,
and finding friendships in the most surprising places.
