Always, Clementine
by Carlie Sorosiak
Clementine is a genius. She is also a mouse. And she is on the run from the lab that bred her. Always, Clementine consists of letters composed in Clementine’s head to her friend Rosie, a chimpanzee who is still in the lab. Readers have the excitement of the chase, Clementine’s enthusiasm when introduced to the game of chess, and the message that we should define success for ourselves. As Clementine puts it, “if someone is telling you what you have to be, then you might lose the opportunity to be what you are”. A fun novel in short chapters, perfect for newly confident readers and a good choice of book to read aloud to siblings of different ages.
