Beezus tries very hard to be patient with her little
sister, but four-your-old Ramona has a habit of doing the
most unpredictable, annoying, embarrassing things in the
world. Sometimes Beezus doesn't like Ramona much, and that
makes her feel guilty. Sisters are supposed to love each
other, but pesky little Ramona doesn't seem very lovable
to Beezus right now.
Ramona the Pest
Ramona is off to kindergarten, and it is the greatest day
of her life. She loves her teacher, Miss Binney, and she
likes a little boy named Davy so much she wants to kiss
him. So why does Ramona get in so much trouble? And how
does Ramona manage to disrupt the whole class during rest
time? Anyone who knows Ramona knows that she never tries
to be a pest.
Ramona the Brave
Now that she's six and entering the first grade, Ramona is
determined to be brave, but it's not always easy, with a
scary new all-by-herself bedroom, her mother's new job,
and a new teacher who just doesn't understand how hard
Ramona is trying to grow up.
Ramona Quimby, Age 8
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 the third grade can do that to a
girl. So how can her teacher call her a nuisance? Being a
member of the Quimby family in the third grade is harder
than Ramona expected.
