註釋Clara Reid is having a really bad year. First, her parents are killed in a car crash and she has to leave her home and go live in a new town with new parents. She has to leave her friends, Aunt Nini and her dog, Riley, and start all over. At first things were okay, all things considered. Her new parents, the Brightman's, were really nice to her: they cooked her favourite meals, didn't bug her about her homework and pretty much let her have her own way.Then things began to change. The Brightman's started acting like real parents. They'd even grounded her! Her new best friend was mad at her, there was a big track meet coming up that she wasn't nearly ready for and Clara was in such a bad mood all the time that even her dog would tuck tail and run when he saw her. Could things possibly get any worse? Is Clara strong enough to carry on? Sarah Perry grew up in Kingston, Ontario. She makes Kingston her home with her husband, Cliff, and their three children, Ashley, Shyann and Tristan. She is the author of Viola's Violin, Clara's Road and The Best Birthday Ever. Her first picture book, The Tale of the Very Tall Tree, is due to be released early in 2006. She is currently at work on her next novel. Praise for Viola's Violin Mrs. Perry's story is told from the heart, and I really enjoyed reading it. Melanie Fowler, age 11 Just wanted to let you know I purchased your book to support a local writer. Little did I know the treasure it would turn out to be. I hope you will continue to write this series. I will continue to read them as long as you do. Thank you!! T.M. Banfield, Books-and-Bookings Praise for Clara's Road: This book has an amazing plot that makes you not want to put the novel down. Sarah Perry really knows how to catch your attention. Brook Doseger, age 13 Sarah Perry is an insightful and gifted storyteller. Michaela Jones Feedback from a school visit: It is not very often that elementary students get the opportunity to ask a successful author about how they do their work. You were honest and straightforward in answering the many questions students asked. I look forward to finding more books you have written for our library.
