The Ramona Quimby Series - Book 5
Ramona and Her Mother
“Cleary keeps this book hopping, jumping easily from scenario to scenario. Its success, as in Cleary’s other Ramona books, is in pulling our heartstrings and making us laugh. Readers will hoot as Ramona squirts every last drop from a new toothpaste tube—just because she always wanted to. We also see her nearly barf in the backseat of the car, and dye herself and her friend Howie bright blue.”

This warm-hearted story of a mother's love for her spirited young daughter is told beautifully by Newbery Medal–winning author Beverly Cleary.
Ramona Quimby is no longer seven, but not quite eight. She's "seven and a half right now," if you ask her. Not allowed to stay home alone, yet old enough to watch pesky Willa Jean, Ramona wonders when her mother will treat her like her older, more mature sister, Beezus.
But with her parents' unsettling quarrels and some spelling trouble at school, Ramona wonders if growing up is all it's cracked up to be. No matter what, she'll always be her mother's little girl…right?
Readers ages 6-12 will laugh along with and relate to Ramona's timeless adventures.
