Unpredictable, exasperating, boisterous, and independent; that's Ramona Quimby! In a series of vignettes related by Beezus, we follow Ramona through her tumultuous third grade year. Miraculously, Ramona survives having to live with Beezus, her teacher's wrath, the wedding of her favorite aunt to Howie's goof-ball uncle, and spending afternoons with Howie's crotchety old grandmother! As Ramona and Beezus grow though the year, they realize that no, life isn't always fair, and yes, sometimes (just sometimes) it can be awfully good to have a sister!
