Ramona Quimby, an energetic first-grader, faces unexpected challenges with a perplexed teacher, a tattletale classmate, and a daunting dog. When she arrives at school missing a shoe, Ramona must summon her courage to navigate the embarrassment and misunderstandings.

Join Ramona in this delightful tale of bravery and growing up.

From the publisher

Newbery Medal–winning author Beverly Cleary lovingly chronicles the ups and downs of elementary school woes. This is perfect for fans of Clementine.

For a girl as enthusiastic about life as Ramona, starting the first grade should be easy! But with a teacher who doesn’t understand her, a tattletale classmate, and a scary dog who follows her on the walk home from school, Ramona has a hard time acting like the big girl everyone expects her to be. But when she shows up to school with a missing shoe, Ramona gets a fresh grip on her courage in order to make it through a mortifying situation.
