Ramona feels very grown-up taking the bus by herself, helping large sister Beezus make dinner, and trying challenging to be good to pesky Willa Jean after school. Turning eight years outdated and entering the first grade can do that to a girl. So how can her teacher call her a nuisance?From the first day of 3rd grade, when Ramona Quimby meets her eventual nemesis Yard Ape, lifestyle moves on at its normal wild pace–typical for the boisterous Ramona, that is. Quickly she is accidentally squashing a raw egg into her hair at the college cafeteria, getting forced to perform Uncle Rat with her irritating young neighbor, and, worst of all, throwing up in her classroom. The responsibilities of an 8-year-old are occasionally daunting, particularly in a family that is attempting to squeak by whilst the father goes back to school. But Ramona is full of also a lot vim and vigor to ever be down for long.

In her 2nd Newbery Honor Book about Ramona (the first was Ramona and Her Father), Beverly Cleary presents an additional slice of the Quimby family daily life. Author of more than two dozen children’s books, Cleary has a true knack for comprehending the tangle of thoughts and emotions in a child’s thoughts and heart. Empathic, witty, and astute, she has earned a lot of other awards, such as the Newbery Medal for Dear Mr. Henshaw. Alan Tiegreen’s clever line drawings have charmed a great number of readers of Cleary’s books above the years, and his style is now inextricably tied to hers. (Ages 8 to 12) –Emilie Coulter
