Book Synopsis

Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary's final book in the Ramona series has all of the warmth, realism, and humor of its predecessors.

Ramona Quimby can't wait to start fourth grade. With a new baby sister to brag about, new calluses to show off, and a new best friend to get to know, everything's going to be great!

Or is it? When Ramona's spelling is atrocious, her teacher, Mrs. Meacham, is firm about her needing to improve. Then a scary incident at a friend's house leaves Ramona feeling at fault. Who knew growing up could be filled with such complicated situations?

In the Ramona books, Beverly Cleary expertly depicts the trials and triumphs of growing up through a relatable heroine who isn't afraid to be exactly who she is. These books continue to make young readers laugh in recognition and pleasure. They're perfect for independent and shared reading, at home or in the classroom.

From the Back Cover

Nine-year-old Ramona's world is getting bigger by the day. She absolutely can't wait to start fourth grade and tell everyone about her new baby sister, Roberta--and to show off her amazing playground skills.

Once she gets to school, even the realization that she is bad--nay, rotten--at spelling doesn't discourage her. She has old friends, like Howie and Yard Ape, and a new best friend, Daisy, who doesn't get mad when Ramona causes a calamity. With pals like these, the scary task of being a responsible big sister won't faze Ramona.

Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary brings the beloved Ramona Quimby back for another year of troubles and triumphs. This new edition of Ramona's World boasts lively new illustrations by Jacqueline Rogers--and a world of fun, love, and friendship.
