The further adventures and misadventures of Ramona Quimby feature the heroine as she copes with her family, friends, and turning eight. - (Baker & Taylor)

Ramona's job is to be nice to fussy Mrs. Kemp, who watches her while her mother works. - (Baker & Taylor)

To celebrate a timeless classic, we’re releasing a special paper-over-board edition of Newbery Honor Book Ramona Quimby, Age 8, featuring a foreword written by actress, producer, and author Amy Poehler, as well as an exclusive interview with Beverly Cleary herself.

Ramona likes that she’s old enough to be counted on, but must everything depend on her? Mrs. Quimby has gone back to work so that Mr. Quimby can return to school, and Ramona is expected to be good for Mrs. Kemp while her parents are away, to be brave enough to ride the school bus by herself, and to put up with being teased by Danny the Yard Ape. In Ramona’s world, being eight isn’t easy, but it’s never dull!
