Clementine Florentine
Meet Clementine Florentine – a talented poet with a strong passion for Custard Creams!
In an ingenious reverse ‘Parent Trap’, Clementine and her school nemesis Callum, have to work together to break Clem’s dad and Callum’s mum up, before they fall ‘in lurrrvee’ and the two poetry rivals end up step brother and sister!
However, an unlikely friendship with ageing punk icon Lyn Ferno and her chatty pet parrot Viv, helps Clem to start seeing things differently. But by then, is it too late to undo the damage she’s caused?
Imagine a female Tom Gates with a touch of a young Adrian Mole and the warmth of Jacqueline Wilson, and you’ve got Clementine Florentine rolled up in one.

Good
it was really good and you can see the different shapes and colours almost speaking and communicating with you and the book
I think it's a really good fiction book, there was drama and problem solving with the kids in school and at home, with some poetry and some funny parts.
I liked Clementine the best. What I liked the best in the book was how she met Callum and didn't like him at first, but in the end they became friends. I would recommend this book to people who like poetry :)
