When Beezus grows up, she wants to be a fourth-grade teacher. But she definitely would not want anyone as awful as her baby sister in her class. Ramona is noisy, stubborn, irritating, and always gets her way. She blows in her straw till the lemonade flies out of the glass. She locks the dog in the bathroom. She wears silly bunny ears and hops all the way to the library. But the worst of it is, Ramona has a bigger imagination than Beezus—and that really hurts. Sisters are supposed to love each other, but Beezus isn't even sure she likes hers.
