Ugh. It is irritating that Grandpa Day repeated over and over that he was giving his daughter away, like a prize. (Marriage is traditionally sexist.) Uncle Hobart ruined the book for me when I was younger; now, he was equally annoying with his slightly sexist jokes that I didn't notice before. Also, the random fight between Aunt Bea and Uncle Hobart in the middle of the book was so unnecessary and strange. This book was unlike the usual Ramona books with the dull plot and out-of-place scenes. The Ramona Quimby series is not as enjoyable as I thought and they have become a little outdated.

The last of my library's Ramona audio books. It makes me rather sad.
Stockard Channing is a WONDERFUL narrator. I wish she would read more books. She is a true treasure to listen to.

I was pleasantly surprised with this one. One of my favorites in the series, with a big focus on family life instead of school. My kids are still entranced as well.

I've blown through the Henry Huggins and now the Ramona books with my third grade boy. The seventh book in the Ramona series had Ramona growing into a mature third grader. Gone is the annoying Ramona from the Henry Huggins books and the earlier Ramona books and I did miss her. She has grown more self-reflective and self-controlled and has become quite a good kid. The earlier books had reminded me of my youngest child, who fits the bill of the annoying younger sister. My son and I have taken to calling her Ramona. However, with this book in the series Ramona has matured, that she was more like my third-grade son, who has turned from an annoying boy into a pretty good kid too. I like third grade! This book wasn't as funny as the earlier books that had me cracking up in hysterical laughter, but I did like it just the same.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Ramona not being the bb anymore but i enjoyed this one as much as the rest of the series.

Read to Isabel: Not my favorite installment bc it didn’t have as much hidden depth as the others but still fun and Isabel really enjoyed it.
