This warm-hearted story of a mother's love for her spirited young
daughter is told beautifully by Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly
Cleary.
Ramona Quimby is no longer seven, but not quite eight. She's "seven and
a half right now," if you ask her. Not allowed to stay home alone, yet
old enough to watch pesky Willa Jean, Ramona wonders when her mother
will treat her like her older, more mature sister, Beezus.
But with her parents' unsettling quarrels and some spelling trouble at
school, Ramona wonders if growing up is all it's cracked up to be. No
matter what, she'll always be her mother's little girl...right?
Readers ages 6-12 will laugh along along with and relate to Ramona's
timeless adventures.
