Clementine Rose and the Best News Yet 15

Description

It's action stations at Penberthy House as everyone prepares for the arrival of a new baby! Clementine Rose will soon have a new brother or sister - she can't wait! But not everything is ready for the baby and no one seems to care as much as Clementine. Not to worry, she's taken matters into her into her own hands. As the due date gets closer, things at the hotel just get busier. Aunt Violet and Uncle Digby are quarrelling and the guests are causing problems - especially Niki, the troublesome toddler. Can Clementine really do everything by herself? Or will there be chaos for the baby's arrival?

Jacqueline Harvey worked in schools for many years but has had a passion for storytelling since she was a child. She is the author of the popular Alice-Miranda, Clementine Rose and Kensy and Max series, which have sold over one and a half million copies in Australia alone. Her books have received numerous short-listings and awards while her picture book, The Sound of the Sea, was a CBCA Honour Book. Jacqueline speaks to thousands of young people at schools and festivals around the world, and says the characters in her books are often made up of the best bits of children she's met over the years. While she is not a twin, like Kensy and Max she does have excellent powers of observation and has always thought she'd make a great spy. Jacqueline lives in Sydney and is currently working on more Kensy and Max adventures, and some exciting new projects too.
