Bookroo's summary

Ramona Quimby faces the challenges of third grade with humor and resilience. As her mom works and dad returns to school, Ramona must brave the school bus alone and endure teasing. Her world is a whirlwind of mishaps, including a memorable classroom incident. Can Ramona balance her family's expectations and her own adventures? Discover how she turns everyday trials into triumphs, proving that even at eight, life is full of surprises and laughter.

From the publisher

Ramona likes that she’s old enough to be counted on, but must everything depend on her? Mrs. Quimby has gone back to work so that Mr. Quimby can return to school, and Ramona is expected to be good for Mrs. Kemp while her parents are away, to be brave enough to ride the school bus by herself, and to put up with being teased by Danny the Yard Ape. In Ramona’s world, being eight isn’t easy, but it’s never dull!
