Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now
Lauren Child
A new 20th anniversary edition of the utterly classic Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now by bestselling Children's Laureate, Lauren Child. It's the worry you hadn't even thought to worry about that should worry you the most. At least that's 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 doesn't even care about her tickets to the Ruby Redfort, girl detective, film premiere. That is, unless something happens to change things again . . . Lauren Child's 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. 'Funny, contemporary and perceptive' - Mail on Sunday 'A comic and poignant journey' - The Sunday Times 'Clarice Bean fans will be delighted by her new adventures . . . Anxieties such as ""change"" and ""having to go back to school after the holidays"" will be recognised by everyone, while her ways of approaching them are delightful' - Guardian

I liked Clarice bean because I learnt that you should always give someone a chance because you might miss out one someone, who could be your best friend but it was also sad when Betty moody,moved to San Francisco.

Clarice Bean is an amazing character as she is similar to my age (9) and adore how she tried to stays away from the bullies but the drama just attracts to her. I feel she has taught me how to cope with this in my real life. I can't wait to read more in the series.

Clarice Bean is the main character.Her best friend is Betty Moody. Clarice is utterly funny and I love the ideas that she has. I like this book but not so much as Scram.

I like it when she tells the Ruby tales and her Ruby torch shaped in a square of wood.

I liked it because there were lots of twists and turns. It is a book that has a book in it which makes it even better. It has also given me an idea of something else to read - Ruby Redford - the main characters’s favourite books.

Caprice Bean: Don't look now is a funny,great book that everyone wil lenjoy. It is the third and last Clarice Bean novel. Clarice has a mystery to solve! When a new girl from Sweden starts at her class, Clarice thinks she is up to no good. With a twist at the end, this book is for everyone!

I really like that she made friends with the new girl. I also like that Clarice is in a Ruby Redfort film.

It was good because Claris Bean had to write down her worries, that were ones that almost all children have.

this book is full of funny made-up words all invented by the main characters clarice bean and betty moody. I would recomend this book to ages 7-11 years who liked chalie and lola.

I’m 9 so I didn’t understand much (First language is Afrikaans), but try it, it’s really good and because I utterly loved it. Clarice Bean was my favourite person. And I cannot what till I recommended it to Chrystal (my best friend). So what are you waiting for? GO READ IT!!!

I loved this book as it was really funny and relatable. My favourite character was Clem Hansson as she was really nice even though Clarice couldn't see that at first! I'd recommend it to anyone- it's more of a girly book but I think boys would enjoy it too.

Absolutely loved it! Lauren Child is one of my favourite authors! If you've read it, Lauren Child has also written the Ruby Redfort books, which I can't wait to read! There are a few tricky words in it, but other than that, it is great! This is the 3rd book in the Clarice Bean Novels series. I would recommend this book to children aged 8+.
