Can Clarissa still explain it all? I guess we’ll find out when a new novel about the quirky 90’s Nickelodeon character Clarissa Darling debuts next fall.
That’s right. According to Entertainment Weekly, Clarissa Explains It All creator Mitchell Kriegman is putting together a new book about the character called Things I Can’t Explain. The book tells the story of a now 23-year-old Clarissa Darling as she enters the real world. She must still deal with her parents and boys, but now a real-life job as a journalist is part of the story, as well as living in her own apartment. (Will that mean no more Sam entering her room through the window??)
Apparently back in 1995, a spinoff show called Clarissa Now had been created, but was never picked up. No word yet if this book will ultimately be turned into another Clarissa TV show or movie. The book is still in its early stages, and is only tentatively planned for fall 2014 publishing date. But I certainly think it has potential.
I still have vivid memories of forcing my father to watch the show with me, no matter how much he protested, and there’s a good chance every girl who grew up in the 90’s will want to read it, regardless of age.

Not only girls, I am really interested in reading this. I’ll give my thumb up.
