Clementine is an elementary aged girl that has parents who are mean to her. When her mother is carried off by a dragon and her father is lost at sea in a bottle, Clementine decides to paint her house with invisible ink. She wants to live on her own and take care of herself. What will happen when she gets an unexpected houseguest? 

Clementine and the Lion was a very fun read! The plot has the style of Roald Dahl and the illustrations are full of detail. The unexpected twists will keep readers guessing! Clementine is assumed white and her nationality is not specified.
