Preorder from Retailers:
Clem has always been shy and quiet. He only ever feels comfortable making noise when he’s playing his clarinet. Clem wishes he could be carefree and likeable like Clarence, the funniest clam at school. But one day, to his class’s surprise, Clarence moves away. In no time at all Clem hatches a plan to take his place as the class clown so he can gain popularity, friends, and all-around clam-tastic greatness. Can it be done?!
Here is Laurie Keller at her very best with an irrepressible character who moves out of his comfort zone to seek class fame. Little does he know his true talents are closer than he thinks!

“Consistent alliteration makes the text a joy to read aloud, and every page provides a reason to laugh: bivalve gags galore, clever footnotes, and even a poo joke for good measure. Keller is particularly skilled at mining facial expressions for comic effect, and her oversize, vivid illustrations feature clams with cartoonish googly eyes making giggle-worthy facial contortions. A romp of a book that’s worth digging into.”Kirkus Reviews
