What to expect

Clarice Bean is back and starring in her second novel! By Children's Laureate Lauren Child.

There are so many things in life you can't explain. Like why isn't YOU spelt U? Why isn't WHY spelt Y? And why can just opening your mouth get you into some very BIG trouble?

Clarice Bean is in non-stop trouble these days - almost as much as Karl Wrenbury, and he is the naughtiest boy in school. Clarice just wants to star in the school play and impress Mrs Wilberton in the spelling bee, but things aren't quite going to plan...

Read by Claire Skinner, star of the hit BBC series 'Outnumbered'.
