Ramona Quimby

Beezus' biggest problem was her 4-year-old sister Ramona. Even though Beezus knew sisters were supposed to love each other, with a sister like Ramona, it seemed impossible.

When her father loses his job, seven-year-old Ramona Quimby thinks of ways to deal with the many problems that develop.

The further adventures of the Quimby family as Ramona enters the third grade.

Riding the school bus alone isn't the only new experience making third grade exciting for Ramona Quimby. From befriending a boy called Yard Ape to delivering her book report in the style of a television commercial, Ramona's enthusiasm for life is infectious and irresistible. That's not to say all is perfect. Having to go to the Kemps' house after school is Ramona's own particular burden -- especially the chore of being nice to pesky little Willa Jean....

Ramona meets lots of interesting people in kindergarten class, like Davy whom she keeps trying to kiss and Susan whose springy curls seem to ask to be pulled.
