What to expect
The exceptionordinary, effervescent Clarice Bean is back with her trademark heart and humour in this story by former Children’s Laureate Lauren Child – a delightful summer read for the entire family!
Nothing ever happens except for sometimes. And only on rare-ish occasions, which is hardly ever. There are times when even I can’t turn the nothing into more than it is. But there was one day in the holidays that began as a nothing day and then everything happened. Absolutely nearly everything.
The unforgettable Clarice Bean finds herself escaping the danger of boredom when she meets an actual real-life DOG who will NOT scram!
