Summary

More
Everyone has a job in the Quimby family, even third grader Ramona. Her job is to be nice to Mrs. Kemp, her babysitter, while her mom is at work. After all, if Ramona's mom didn't work, her dad wouldn't be able to return to college after losing his job.

But dealing with cranky Mrs. Kemp is easy compared to life at school. Danny the Yard Ape is teasing Ramona every day at recess. And she threw up in front of all her classmates. Yikes! How much can one eight-year-old manage?

Readers will love—and relate to—Ramona's ability to bounce back when things don't go according to plan.

About the Author

Beverly Cleary is the Newbery Medal–winning author of more than 30 books for children. When she was a young girl, Ms. Cleary lived in a town so small it had no library. Perhaps it was this lack of books on hand that led the author to write the kinds of books (and create the many characters) she wished she could have encountered as child. Beverly Cleary's books are full of charming adventure and are beloved for their warmth, wit, and welcoming feel.
