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.
