Ramona feels quite grown-up taking the bus by herself,
helping big sister Beezus make dinner, and trying hard to be nice
to pesky Willa Jean after school. Turning eight years old and entering

her a nuisance?
"Cleary shows us life through Ramona's eyes
and shows her young readers that they are not alone." -- Kirkus Reviews
