My review of Always, Clementine
Always, Clementine is the sweetest book! An epistolary novel narrated through letters from Clementine to her friend Rosie a chimpanzee.
Clementine has been freed from a research lab by a concerned worker and finds herself in the home of Gus and his grandfather, Pop. They soon learn that Clementine is no ordinary mouse, she is exceptionally smart. The lab scientists are determined to get Clementine back to continue their experiments but Gus and Pop have a plan to save Clementine and her friends.
The voice of Clementine is so funny, sweet and cute you can't help but fall in love with her.
Carlie Sorosiak has written a gentle book about the important topic of animal testing laboratories.
I loved that Clementine still had all the little idiosyncrasies of a mouse even though she had super intelligence and could understand humans.
Always, Clementine is a gorgeous tale of friendship, kindness and always trying the best that you can. It is an immersive story that is filled with enough suspense and danger to keep any child engaged.
This story will be an extra delight to chess players as Clementine is involved in a mega chess challenge.
My recommended age 8+
A book that will be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
My rating 5 / 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
