Clementine Fox is always looking for a way to get out of going to school. So when she finds out Jessie Otter is taking his giant turtle over to the island where Great-Aunt Marnie lives, Clementine can't resist - and stows away with a couple of friends to spend an adventure-filled day away from school. But when plans go awry from the get-go, Clementine and her friends find themselves in the middle of an unplanned and difficult adventure.
Clementine is a funny and spunky main character. As an adult, I struggle with her decisions and the fact that she brings her friends along for the ride. Luna's illustrations remind me of cartoon network shows, which I think readers will find appealing. The story is full of fairies, all sorts of animals, and a lot of twists and turns. An engaging read with some nice life lessons. The characters are animals.
