November Book Giveaway

In Sara Pennypacker's Clementine, Friend of the Week, it's Clementine's turn to be exactly that in her third-grade classroom. As friend of the week, she's line leader, gets to feed the class pets and collect the milk money, and, best of all, will receive a booklet at the end of the week in which all her classmates have expressed why they like her. Attention and positive strokes -- who wouldn't love it! Prompted by her BFF Margaret, a fourth-grader for whom "Friend of the Week" is SO last year, Clementine embarks on a plan to be the coolest friend ever and collect only the awesomest of comments. But when things get rocky with Margaret and her kitten goes missing, Clementine forgets all the helpful promises she's made. Is Clementine going to completely bomb as "Friend of the Week"?

This book has appealing characters and plenty of laugh-out-loud spots. Fans of Judy Moody and Ramona Quimby, not to mention the previous Clementine books, will eat it up.                            

To be entered in the drawing:
  • Comment on this post anytime from now through Monday, November 15.
  • For an additional entry, become a follower of this blog and mention that in the comment. Ditto if you already are a follower.
  • For additional entries, post links to this contest and give the URLs.
Winner will be announced Tuesday, November 16.

So, come one, come all--and meanwhile have a great day in the world of books.

Bish -- Clementine has such appeal to this age group. Thanks for the link!

Kelly -- Fun with a message is such a great combo. Thank you for the link, too!

Sharon -- Contests (like everything else on the web) can get addicting, can't they? There's nothing like a good laugh.

Llehn -- LOL. That was how I felt about Ramona as a kid -- I didn't know any kids at the time who could have done HALF that stuff without getting a good paddling.

Sharon -- BOOKS are the real addiction, no? :)

CR -- Thanks for entering!
