Ramona Forever by Beverly Cleary
5.0
I only read 2 Ramona books when I was a child, and this was one of them. I'm pretty sure I bought it through Weekly Reader or Scholastic. Sadly, the only series books we had in our school library were Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and Bobbsey Twins. I would have eaten this series up as much as my daughter is. I'm glad this was one of the 2 books I read because it's one of the better ones.
Howie's Uncle Hobart comes to town, bringing an accordion and unicycle as gifts. He also sweeps someone off their feet resulting in a wedding which he manages to single-handedly plan in a day or 2. This book has the right balance of fun and real life to make it one of the better of the books in the series.
Strangely, one of the few things I remembered from reading this as a child was the phrase "zwieback crumbs". With the help of Google, I at long last know what they are.
Hearing that we only have 1 book left to go in the series, my daughter declared that, when she grows up, she's going to write the next book in the series. I told her that she can write it now and send it to the author for her 100th birthday.
