| Ramona is back! New and old friends alike will
rejoice in Beverly Cleary's latest book about spunky Ramona and the
whole Quimby family.
From the minute that Howie Kemp's "rich" Uncle Hobart
arrives from Saudi Arabia, things are off to a rousing start. There
are new beginnings and discoveries and two very special surprises
- one surprise is big and one is very little.
It's a time of change for all the Quimbys; a time of new joys and
little sadnesses, too. There are new worries - Mr Quimby is worried
about finding a teaching job, Ramona is worried they may have to
move if he does, and Beezus is worried about her teenage complexion.
And through it all Ramona, a grown up third-grader, remains a sometimes
pesty, sometimes brave, sometimes blunderful, but always wonderful
Ramona - forever!

"Happy days, Ramona is back! Ramona finds
herself with some growing up to do as she awaits the birth
of the third Quimby child, deals with the death of the beloved
family cat, Picky-picky, and loses her Aunt Bea to marriage....Cleary
provides laugh-out-loud scenes, memorable characters, and
keen perceptions. When it comes to writing books kids love,
nobody does it better."
