About the Book
Ramona struggles to understand her place in her mother's world now that she has a little sister, in this republication of Cleary's classic title, featuring new art and cover. This volume celebrates the August 1999 release of the first Ramona book in 15 years, "Ramona's World."Book Synopsis
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?
Readers ages 6-12 will laugh along along with and relate to Ramona's timeless adventures.
From the Back Cover
Being seven and a half is not easy!
Ramona's at that awkward, in-between age--too little to stay home alone after school when her mother is at work, but too big to enjoy playing with pesty Willa Jean at her sitter's house. These days, all Ramona really wants is to twitch her nose and be her mother's little rabbit like she once was. Can't she be her mother's little girl forever?
