In this special edition of Newbery Honor Book Ramona Quimby, Age 8,
the timeless classic now features a special foreword written by actress,
producer, and author Amy Poehler, as well as an exclusive interview with
Beverly Cleary herself.
Ramona likes that she's old enough to be counted on, but must everything
depend on her? Mrs. Quimby has gone back to work so that Mr. Quimby can
return to school, and Ramona is expected to be good for Mrs. Kemp while
her parents are away, to be brave enough to ride the school bus by
herself, and to put up with being teased by Danny the Yard Ape. In
Ramona's world, being eight isn't easy, but it's never dull!
