I love Clarice Bean. How can you not?  Her unique voice. How bright and funny she is. Her keen observations. Her endless curiosity. Such a way with words!

As I read each book I can’t help but read out loud as her voice is so unique. She’s so wise, and a bit of a know it all. In the most UTTERLY brilliant way. If you haven’t the pleasure of her acquaintance yet, do not delay and go and buy one of her books right now.

In this the ninth Clarice Bean book, Clarice is 11 and has £6.67 in her piggybank. She’s still a huge fan of Ruby Redfort but is sad as her friend Betty Moody has moved away and it’s changed her world.

Accompany Clarice as she compiles her holiday assignment project about endangered species. Clarice is not that good at writing because she can’t get the spellings to spell but this is a project without writing, because sometimes you can see more without words. (Again, see how wonderfully wise she is!)

Multi award-winning former Children's Laureate Child wrote Smile, because she was finding news of climate change overwhelming and it felt impossible to make sense of the growing environmental crisis. Inspired by feelings of a lack of control, and feeling too small to make a difference Clarice's curiosity inspires us all to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. Perennnial daydreamer Clarice wants to invent something that can change the world for the better, and inspired by the plankton, one of the tiniest creatures on the planet, she finds a way. This bundle of literary sunshine speaks for the importance of community and the power of the littlest thing to make a difference. And I gobbled it up!
