Courtney on "Clarice Bean Don’t Look Now" by Lauren Child

I have just finished a book called” Clarice Bean Don’t Look Now” by Lauren Child.

This book is based In England, because Lauren Child is from England. Clarice Bean has a best friend called Betty Moody.

Clarice and Betty are in the same class, and their teacher is called Mrs. Wilberton. Clarice Bean has an older sister called Marcie, an older brother called Kurt and a younger brother called Minal.

In the middle of the book Betty Moody leaves England to go to America to live, when Betty leaves the school a new girl comes to Clarice’s school; she is called Clem Hansson and she is from a place called Stockholm in Sweden.

Clem invites Clarice to her birthday party. Clarice doesn’t go because she thinks Clem is friends with Justin Broach, the bully, but in the end Clarice knows that Clem isn’t friends with Justin because he stole Clem’s Swedish rabbit at the pet show.

After school, Justin and one of Clarice’s friends called Karl Wenberry fight and Karl gets badly hurt, he breaks his arm. At the end, Clarice and Clem are good friends.

Opinion:

Once you read 1-3 chapters of the book you’ll really want to know what’s going to happen next. It’s an addictive book.

Who would enjoy the book?

I think most likely girls would like the book, but some boys might like it too. In some parts, it’s a bit girly but otherwise it’s really awesome. The age would be between any age, but mainly about from 7 onwards.
