Description

Ramona wants her mother to herself for a while. How come when Willa Jean tears through a box of tissues she's still the centre of attention? Life isn't fair. Ramona may not be as small as Willa Jean but that doesn't mean she isn't her mother's girl!

Quick Summary

Ramona Quimby faces every kid's biggest fear, being overlooked when a new baby sister demands all the attention, and her determined quest to prove she's still her mother's number one girl feels instantly relatable. Beverly Cleary's trademark humor bursts through Ramona's everyday adventures at school and home, from chaotic neighbor Willa Jean to the small dramas that feel enormous to any fourth grader. If your kid loves the heartfelt family moments in "Wonder" or laughs at the realistic school drama in "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde Wimpy Kid," they'll recognize themselves in Ramona's world. This perfect fourth-grade read appeals most to kids ages 8-10 who enjoy stories about family dynamics, friendship struggles, and the small battles that shape growing up.
