| Ramona just wants everyone to be happy. If only
her father would smile and joke again, her mother would look less
worried, her sister would be cheerful, and Picky-picky would eat his
cat-food. But Ramona's father has lost his job, and nobody in the
Quimby household is in a very good mood.
Ramona tries to cheer up the family as only Ramona can -- by rehearsing
for life as a rich and famous star of television commercials, for
instance -- but her best efforts only make things worse. Her sister,
Beezus, calls her a, pest, her parents lose patience with her, and
her teacher claims she's forgotten her- manners. But when her father
admits he wouldn't trade her for a million dollars, Ramona knows
everything is going to work out fine in the end.
