Clementine Rose And The Birthday Emergency (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Most of the children stopped their jumping about and stood still. Joshua Tribble, meanwhile, continued to spring up and down on the spot as if he were on a pogo stick. ‘Joshua, I think that’s enough,’ Mr Smee said disapprovingly. ‘But it’s my warm-up,’ Joshua complained. ‘I don’t want to pull my muscles. They’re really big, you know.’ The teacher glared at him, trying hard not to smile. ‘I think you’ll be fine.’ Joshua reluctantly stopped, but not without a few more grumbles. ‘I’m going to split the class into two groups of boys and two groups of girls,’ the teacher explained. ‘Those ranked in first and second place will then race against each other to determine which boy and girl will represent Year One on Friday.’ After a few minutes, the Year Ones were formed into four groups of five and six. They stood by the track that the school caretaker, Mr Pickles, had marked out for Friday’s carnival. Today, the man could be seen furiously raking the long-jump pit on the other side of the field.
