However and that all being said, I definitely still think that Clementine absolutely needs some parental rules, maybe not as many as her friend Margaret seems to have, but still, I firmly believe Clementine’s parents are more than a bit too laid-back at times (and actually, perhaps even often). While I generally do tend to find Sara Pennypacker's Clementine fun and endearing as a literary character, I am also finding her somewhat spoiled and a bit too rambunctious for me (but then again, maybe my frustration might also be a bit of displaced jealousy, as I certainly would never have dared to be that spunky, outspoken and spontaneous as a child). ![]() ![]() ![]() With the ultra-wealthy safe, confined, immune from curfews and emergency laws, throwing balls, parties, and feasts.

Soon after their arrival, wildfires begin to break out across the area and the entire city of Los Angeles becomes enveloped in flames, riots, and blackouts.
