Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary
4.0
I found this installment in the Ramona series to be amusing to listen to because my youngest is also an eight-year-old third grader, and my oldest is in junior high.
The family has settled into a routine of sorts, with the dad going back to college to be an art teacher, and the family adjusting accordingly. Ramona suffers through afternoons with Howie, his little sister, and his grandma, and does what she can to convince her parents to let her join into school fads (like hard-boiled eggs packed in lunches, that one can crack on one's forehead in spectacular fashion).
Ramona experiences the horrifying moment if being sick at school in front of her class but survives, and later wows her class with a book report in the vein of a TV commercial.
