Synopses & Reviews
Dont look now, but Lauren Child has outdone herself with a Clarice Bean novel that is the funniest and most poignant yet.Its the worry you hadnt even thought to worry about that should worry you the most. At least thats how it looks to Clarice Bean, who has been writing her worries in a notebook — things like Worry no. 1: infinity, or Worry no. 3: change. And now that her worst never-imagined worry has happened — her utterly best friend is moving away forever — Clarice doesnt even care about her tickets to the Ruby Redfort, girl detective, movie premiere. That is, unless something happens to change things again. . . . Lauren Childs trademark wit combines with spot-on insight in this hugely engaging story about childhood worries, unwanted changes, and finding friendships in the most surprising places.
