Description

Ramona Quimby, unpredictable. exasperating. boisterous and independent, is always aggravating her older sister, Beezus and constantly getting into trouble. As narrator, Beezus introduces the Quimby family in scenes that trace Ramona's tumultuous passage through third grade and through her family relationships that shape a humorous, loving family portrait. The problems facing the Quimbys, a middle-class Oregon family, are problems common to most families, and the family's togetherness is a clear statement of traditional family values. Along with the discovery that life is not always fair, eventually Ramona and Beezus come to realize that sisters may not always agree, but they can be good to have around.
