Dd's book report

This book report is about Utterly Me, Clarice Bean by Lauren Child.

Clarice is the second oldest in a family of seven, including a granddad. Her older brother Kurt is always shut up in his room, which smells like rotten cheese, her older sister Marcie is always grumpy, her younger brother Minal is always annoying, her dad is always on the phone, her mom is tired of being a "maid", and her granddad is, well, granddad.

Partway through the school year their teacher, Mrs. Wilberton, announces they are going to have a book exhibition. Unfortunately the winners' cup goes missing. Clarice and her utterly BEST friend Betty Moody decide to look for it together. They read mystery books about a girl named Ruby and they learn a lot from that. They decide to do their book exhibit on them. If they find the cup in time, can they win it?

I like this book because it seems as if you are reading her diary. It's also very funny. Once Betty loses her glasses in a nasty place and the janitor has to fish them out. I would recommend this book for most girls.
