“There once was a mouse. That’s me. Hello!”

The Book Fairies were delighted to share copies of Always, Clementine today up and down the UK! Possibly one of the most adorable heroines, Clementine the mouse strives to save the day…

About the book:

I am an optimist. A very difficult thing to be, sometimes, at three inches tall.

Clementine is a genius. She can calculate pi to 69,689 places, remembers the exact moment she was born, and dreams in Latin.

She’s also a mouse.

And when she escapes from the lab which has bred her, Clementine discovers that it’s not enough to be the smartest mouse in history if she wants to survive in the real world – especially while the scientists who kept her are trying to recover their prize specimen. So, together with her new human friends, Clementine must find a way to earn her freedom – for good.

With beautiful writing and a truly wonderful hero who you’ll fall in love with from the first page, Always, Clementine is a funny, wise and heartwarming story, with a truly one-of-a-kind hero, from the author of the highly-acclaimed I, Cosmo and My Life as a Cat.

Carlie Sorosiak as Book Fairy for a Day

Our London fairies were thrilled to be joined by the author of Always, Clementine – Carlie Sorosiak – in London! She became a ‘book fairy for a day’ to hide copies of the book around a large park which was full of families.

A lucky finder!

Not lucky enough to spot one today?

Do not worry – this wonderful book is now available in all good book shops. If you’d prefer to order online, you can still support independent book shops by getting your copy at Bookshop.org!

Would you like to be a book fairy like Carlie?

Anyone can join in! All you need is a set of official book fairy stickers and some books (secondhand is great!) that you’d like to share – then you’re off!
