About the Books: Always, Clementine: Clementine is different from other mice: she can calculate the speed of light and she dreams in Latin. The scientists say she’s a genius and put her through test after test. Clementine is proud of being a good lab mouse, but she’s lonely. Her only snatches of friendship occur during her late-night visits with a chimpanzee named Rosie. When a compassionate lab technician frees Clementine, the mouse discovers an outside world full of wonders: Brussels sprouts, games of speed chess, television fame, and a chance for a real home. But for Clementine, it’s not enough to be free when she knows that Rosie and the other mice are not. This tender, lively adventure story, narrated in letters from a mouse to a chimpanzee, shows us that goodness is something we have to define for ourselves—and that courage and wisdom aren’t proportionate to size. Books Aren't for Eating: Leopold the goat owns a delightful bookstore, and he has a talent for matching his customers with the ideal book—an adventure story for the girl in the rain boots, a novel about gnomes for the man who loves to laugh, and a book of birds for the woman in the feathered hat. But one day, another goat arrives and proceeds to eat every book Leopold offers. Can Leopold find just the right one to tempt this reluctant reader? This funny, charming tale of the transformative power of books is a celebration of that first special story that sparks a child’s love of reading. About the Author: Hi, I'm Carlie. I write books mostly about the inner lives of animals. My work has received starred reviews from Booklist, Publishers Weekly, BookPage and Kirkus, has been translated into over a dozen languages, and is often lauded by my mother. I grew up in North Carolina and have an American dingo (Google it!) who is my writing companion, but I don’t let her type on my keyboard. Somewhere in my attic are all three of my degree certificates: one from UNC-Chapel Hill, one from Oxford, and another from City, University of London.
