Customer Reviews

Highly recommended novel for young readers ages 12 through 14

Twelve (almost thirteen!) year old Clare is the total opposite of her best friend Elsa. Clare prefers t-shirts and jeans, Elsa is a trendy dresser complete with accessories. Clare's humor is dark and ironic while Elsa is bright and witty. But the unusual thing about their friendship is that Clare invented Elsa when she was five years old. She was an imaginary friend! But now Clare decides that because she's becoming a teenager, it's time to abandon her imaginary best friend -- but will Elsa go along with this idea? Still There, Clair is written by Yvonne Prinz with wit, originality, and a flare for engaging the reader from first page to last in superbly crafted and highly recommended novel for young readers ages 12 through 14.

WOW, It was Amazing!

WOW it was amazing!! Meeting Clare would be like meeting my twin. We have so much in common it's scary- everything from Manga comic books to rootbeer floats!! I can't wait for more of Clare and her wacky adventures!!!!! -Emily B. Danville, CA

THE MOST AWESOME BOOK EVER!!!!!!

I finished this book in two days because I couldn't put it down. Clare is so much like me and I loved reading about someone out there who has the same problems as I do. This book is also hilarious and taught me not to take myself too seriously. I especially loved Aunt Rusty and Elsa. I hope there's another one out soon. I can't wait to read what happens next in Clare's life!!!!!!!!!!!! Alexis, Age 13 San Francisco, California
