Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary

4.0

Ramona Quimby is six years old and finally going to the big school with her older sister, Beezus. Things are going to be great! However, big school doesn't go as great as she expected: her teacher doesn't like her, Susan copies her, and the whole class laughs at her on the first day of school! Plus, it doesn't help that Beezus is the perfect daughter. But things get even worse when she finally gets her own room and it turns out that she's scared of the dark! Can Ramona overcome her fear and survive first grade?

I found this book at my grandparents' house with my name written in my 8-year-old lopsided cursive inside the front cover. I loved the Ramona books as a kid and now I realize why--Ramona is a lot like I was. I really enjoyed rereading this and can't wait to dive back into the others.
