A review by erinmp
Ramona and Her Mother by Beverly Cleary

3.0

Ramona is now seven-and-a-half, in the second grade, and at a perpetual difficult age. Things at school could be better if her spelling improves, but it's at home where the real problems are for Ramona. Ramona desperately wants a close relationship with her mother like Beezus has. But more importantly, her parents are fighting, they are both working full-time, she has to stay after school with mean Mrs. Kemp and horrible Willa Jean, and her sister Beezus is becoming a teenager. Through it all Ramona pulls her usual stunts by dying herself blue, giving Kleenex as a gift, and wearing her pajamas to school.

Another cute Ramona book, but not as good as Ramona and Her Father. She always gets into hilarious situations but they are always a surprise. I love Ramona because she reminds me of myself at that age--wanting to be good, but never quite able to get there.
