Clarice Bean is in for a spell of trouble -- and shares a lesson about
kindness -- in this hilarious sequel to the New York Times
bestseller.
Clarice Bean seems to be in nonstop trouble these days, almost as much
as Karl Wrenbury, who is the naughtiest boy at school. If only she could
be more like her favorite book character, Ruby Redfort, girl detective,
who is very good at getting out of trouble. The problem is, Mrs.
Wilberton is planning a spelling bee, and just thinking about it gives
Clarice a stomachache. But when Karl Wrenbury has a family problem and
gets into really big trouble, Clarice does something utterly unexpected,
altruistically proving Ruby Redfort's maxim Never let a good pal down.
The superbly talented Lauren Child presents a fast-paced, full-length
adventure full of wacky wit, visual appeal, and a surprisingly
heartwarming twist sure to reel in the most reluctant reader.
