Clarice Bean is back with all her trademark humour in this heartwarming story by former Children's Laureate Lauren Child

At the moment I am daydreaming about inventing something exceptionordinarily good that could change the world for the better, because of all the things, it's the better that's needed.

And if you are thinking I'm too small to make a difference then remember the plankton - they are one of the tiniest creatures on the planet but without them where would we be? Probably living on Mars.

The utterly wonderful Clarice Bean is thinking about the endangered things: the big creatures, the little creatures, the plants and the trees. But it's not just the planet that needs help - there's her whole family too . . .

Lauren Child, the Sunday Times bestselling author, weaves a tale of friendship and emotions that will captivate both the young and the old. This award-winning sequel in the series is a must-read for every juvenile reader.

For fans of Kevin Henkes (Chrysanthemum), Colleen Madden (A Christmas Too Big), Mo Willems (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!), Lara Bergen (The Bumpy, Thumpy Bedtime), and Betsy E. Snyder (I Can Dream).
