Beezus and Ramona
by Beverly Cleary
The Mother Daughter Book Club meeting for this book was held November 15, 2018, at 6:30 pm in the Community Room.
Book club reading copies were available for checkout from the circulation desk about a month prior to the meeting.
Nine-year-old Beezus Quimby has her hands full with her little sister, Ramona. Sure, other people have little sisters that bother them sometimes, but is there anyone in the world like Ramona? Whether she’s taking one bite out of every apple in a box or secretly inviting 15 other 4-year-olds to the house for a party, Ramona is always making trouble–and getting all the attention. Every big sister can relate to the trials and tribulations Beezus must endure. Old enough to be expected to take responsibility for her little sister, yet young enough to be mortified by every embarrassing plight the precocious preschooler gets them into, Beezus is constantly struggling with her mixed-up feelings about the exasperating Ramona.

Bekka rated it ★★★★★ and said “Boy that Ramona is a challenge! I had forgotten that this one is told from Beezus’ point of view. I enjoyed it quite a lot! This series was one of my favorites as a kid.”
