Clementine by Sara Pennypacker
Clementine lives in Boston with her family. Very early in this chapter book you can tell that she sometimes gets in trouble because she quickly decides to do things without imagining the consequences. For example, in the first chapter she's sitting in the principal's office because she tried cutting her friend's hair during art class. Then she decides to answer the principal's phone when it rings! Clementine has a good heart, but gets into some sticky situations in this first book in the series!
