About the Book

The first book in the Clara Humble series, now available in paperback. Clara Humble may seem like your average fourth-grader who doesn't look before she leaps, but she has a secret: she thinks she might have superpowers. Which is convenient, because things aren't going so well for Clara. Students from rival R. R. Reginald are moving into her school for the term, and Clara's favorite neighbour is moving to a faraway retirement home. Together with her best friend, Bradley, Clara becomes convinced that her knack for making liquids spill, overhearing her parents' conversations, communicating with her pet chinchilla, and maybe even mind-controlling teachers could be used to put a stop to these injustices. Told in Clara's clever, funny, and strikingly authentic voice, this novel, annotated with Clara's comic sketches, kicks off a new series by inviting readers into this memorable character's inventive mind to share in her misadventures. AGES: 8 to 12 AUTHOR: Anna Humphrey is the author of the Clara Humble series and other novels for middle-grade and young adult readers. Anna lives with her family in Kitchener, Ontario. SELLING POINTS: . First novel in a middle-grade series, now available in paperback . Features a confident and irresistibly funny, relatable female protagonist . Clara's line drawings create a sketchbook effect and add laugh-out-loud humour

Review :
"A funny and touching story through which young readers may explore their own feelings of helplessness and frustration."-- "Canadian Children's Book News" "A good antidote to the feeling most kids (and adults!) will find familiar: that the world is out of their control... A promising beginning to a new series about a spirited character who is discovering her real strengths."-- "Kirkus Reviews" "Author Anna Humphrey has done a wonderful job of telling a story that many children will be able to identify with: things happen that we have no control over and we need to learn how to cope. This book is sprinkled with adorable illustrations that depict Clara's comic strip and how she sees the world around her. This book will help students know they are not alone in how they feel and what they are dealing with. Recommended."-- "School Library Connection" "Beautiful and fun... A worthy addition to the growing field of doodle-illustrated middle-grade novels."-- "Booklist" "Clara's supposed super powers make for quite an interesting storyline. The characters are well-developed, and the story is interesting... Recommended."-- "Canadian Review of Materials" "Humphrey succeeds in establishing a likable heroine, a spunky comic book fan with a wild imagination... A solid start to a new series. Clara Humble proves she doesn't need superpowers to win over young readers."-- "School Library Journal" "Humphrey's new series starring Clara Humble as a plucky young cartoonist tackles the big challenges facing kids like friendship, anger, competition, and change with honesty and humor...delightful...hilarious super hero hijinks that kids will love."-- "The Midwest Book Review" "Subtly thought-provoking... Humphrey - and Clara - have staked out their own comic territory."-- "Quill & Quire" "Will be understood by middle school readers."-- "Resource Links"
