Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary's final book in the Ramona
series has all of the warmth, realism, and humor of its predecessors.

to brag about, new calluses to show off, and a new best friend to get to
know, everything's going to be great!

Meacham, is firm about her needing to improve. Then a scary incident at
a friend's house leaves Ramona feeling at fault. Who knew growing up
could be filled with such complicated situations?
In the Ramona books, Beverly Cleary expertly depicts the trials and
triumphs of growing up through a relatable heroine who isn't afraid to
be exactly who she is. These books continue to make young readers laugh
in recognition and pleasure. They're perfect for independent and shared
reading, at home or in the classroom.
