While sorting through difficulties in her friendship with her neighbor Margaret, eight-year-old Clementine gains several unique hairstyles while also helping her father in his efforts to banish pigeons from the front of their apartment building.

This week is going to be the best ever for Clementine. She’s been chosen as Friend of the Week in her third grade class-- and she's bubbling with excitement! This great honor means you get to be a line leader, collect lunch money from everyone, and feed the fish. It also means the other kids will give her a nifty booklet saying what they like about her. What could be better than that? Hoping to get the most glowing, perfect booklet ever, Clementine...

Third-grader Clementine tries to adjust to the news that her perfect family of four is adding a new brother or sister.
