Description

This warm-hearted story of a mother's love for her spirited young daughter is told beautifully by Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary.

Ramona Quimby is no longer seven, but not quite eight. She's "seven and a half right now," if you ask her. Not allowed to stay home alone, yet old enough to watch pesky Willa Jean, Ramona wonders when her mother will treat her like her older, more mature sister, Beezus.

But with her parents' unsettling quarrels and some spelling trouble at school, Ramona wonders if growing up is all it's cracked up to be. No matter what, she'll always be her mother's little girl... right?


• Sibling Dynamics: Ramona is "seven and a half right now" and just wants to be treated like her older, more mature sister, Beezus. Is that too much to ask?

• A Mother's Love: With parents' unsettling quarrels at home, Ramona needs to know one thing: will she always be her mother's little girl?

• Relatable Family Life: From disastrous home haircuts to the glorious mess of an entire tube of toothpaste, Ramona's world is full of funny and true-to-life moments.

• The Trials of Growing Up: Between trouble with spelling and navigating the rules of being a big kid, Ramona learns that being seven and a half is a very serious business.
