Synopsis
A gorgeous new series for girls from the bestselling author of the Alice-Miranda series.
Clementine Rose was delivered not in the usual way, at a hospital, but in the back of a mini-van, in a basket of dinner rolls.
So begins the story of a lovely little girl who lives in Penberthy Floss in a large ramshackle house with her mother, Lady Clarissa, Digby Pertwhistle the butler and a very sweet teacup pig called Lavender.
When her scary Aunt Violet arrives unexpectedly, the household is thrown into disarray. What is it that Aunt Violet really wants and what is she carrying in her mysterious black bag?
From the author of the best-selling Alice-Miranda series, for readers aged 5+.

ReportHi Yazzi, Clementine Rose is pitched at the 5-9 year age group but I have had many readers of Alice-Miranda (much older) who have already told me how much they enjoy Clemmie too. The story is quite complex and lots of fun - I hope you get to read it :) Best wishes, Jacqueline Harvey

ReportHi Saskia, Clementine Rose lives in a village called Penberthy Floss close to where Alice-Miranda'a family live in HIghton Mill. They don't know each other yet but they will meet during the series. I love Clemmie - she's funny and sweet but she often says the first thing that pops into her head. And that gets her into BIG trouble. I hope you will enjoy her stories too - there will be at least 8 of them :) Best wishes, Jacqueline Harvey
