Clarissa's world of make-believe is a place where archeologists uncover magical birthday presents, tea is served to avoid talk-show tragedies, Russian spies reveal their feelings in finger paintings, and stuffed animal bunny rabbits protect your darkest secrets. Clarissa on Her Deathbed is a coming-of-age story about the resilience of children and their ability to believe in fairy tales and "happily ever after" in the face of real life.
