A Girl from Yamhill by Beverly Cleary
4.0
This is not great literature, but I loved reading this book. How amazing to learn about this author's childhood and to recognize the seeds of Ramona within her! Klickitat Street is a real place near her home. Ramona had a doll named Chevrolet, and Beverly had a doll named Fordson-Lafayette, after a neighbor's tractor and a town.
In the end, I wish I could know more about how she resolved her troubled relationship with her mother, or did she? Beverly Cleary is still alive as I write this, but at 102, she is retired. Thank you, Beverly Cleary, for giving us Ramona, Henry, Beezus, Socks, and so many others.
