Ramona Quimby

2 books · Ages 610 · Chapter Books

Beverly Cleary's Ramona series follows one girl from preschool through fourth grade, and the ordinary events of her life (a bad haircut, an embarrassing moment at school, a parent losing a job) feel as significant as any fantasy quest. Eight books, all still in print, all still exactly as good as they were in 1968.
