Clementine and the lion

Abbott, Zoey,


"Clementine is fed up with being under the rule of her overbearing parents. So when her mother is snatched away by dragons and her father becomes lost at sea in a bottle, she finds herself rather relieved to be alone. She outwits her dull aunt Mildred who is sent to care for her, and settles into a happy life of freedom and self-reliance. That is, until she leaves the door ajar one day and returns home to discover an unwelcome intruder . . . With its surprising plot twists and dark(ish) humour, this charming tale of an independent-minded girl and her unexpected housemate is reminiscent of Roald Dahl and Maurice Sendak, but at the same time, feels completely fresh."--Provided by publisher.

As Amik shows her cousins some of her favorite haunts, the reader also learns how beavers help all the other animals in the forest: they cut down poplar trees so deer have easier access to the leaves, they create canals in streambeds that fish need to swim in during the winter months, and they build dams that form shallow pools for otters to swim in with their babies. Along the way, each animal shows its gratitude by saying "Meegwetch" (thank you) to Amik. Meanwhile, Nishiime, who can be seen hiding in the illustrations throughout the story, finally appears, explaining that she was feeling scared and shy about meeting other beavers from far away. It doesn't take long until Nishiime is comfortable with her cousins, asking many questions and planning how she will one day visit them."--
