Bookroo's summary

Ramona Quimby eagerly starts fourth grade, ready to show off her new calluses and bond with her best friend, Daisy. But when her spelling struggles and a frightening incident at a friend's house leave her feeling guilty, Ramona realizes growing up isn't as simple as she thought. With a new baby sister and the pressure to be a good role model, Ramona must navigate the ups and downs of childhood. Will she find comfort in her imperfections and the support of her family and friends, or will the challenges of fourth grade prove too daunting?

From the publisher

Newbery Medal–winning author Beverly Cleary’s final book in the Ramona series has all of the warmth, realism, and humor of its predecessors.

Ramona Quimby can’t wait to start fourth grade. With a new baby sister to brag about, new calluses to show off, and a new best friend to get to know, everything’s going to be great!

Or is it? When Ramona’s spelling is atrocious, her teacher, Mrs. Meacham, is firm about her needing to improve. Then a scary incident at a friend’s house leaves Ramona feeling at fault. Who knew growing up could be filled with such complicated situations?
