The summer before first grade sure isn't an easy one for Ramona. There
are a lot of changes going on at the Quimby house and Ramona's not sure
she likes them one bit. She has a new bedroom that terrifies her, and
she's positive that something is hiding under her bed. And to make
matters worse, her mother gets a job to help pay for the new bedroom.
Ramona sure misses her and the cookies she used to bake. School finally
starts and Ramona realizes the first grade is not for cowards.
