Clementine and the Great Trip

Clementine faces changes at the end of her third-grade year and anticipates the birth of her family's new baby. For Clementine, spring is a significant season, filled with new growth and experiences. She observes her apple tree and her friend Margaret's spring cleaning and takes a school trip to Plimoth Plantation. Clementine is excited for the historical experience, but nervous about the strict lunch rules of the fourth graders. Additionally, she navigates learning Olive-language and dealing with 'The Cloud' on Bus 7. A discussion with a pilgrim lady leads Clementine to reflect on the purpose and impact of rules, prompting her to consider which rules are worth breaking.
