Ramona is back! New and old friends alike will rejoice in Beverly Cleary's latest book about spunky Ramona and the whole Quimby family.
From the minute that Howie Kemp's "rich" Uncle Hobart arrives from Saudi Arabia, things are off to a rousing start. There are new beginnings and discoveries and two very special surprises -- one surprise is big and one is very little.
It's a time of change for all the Quimbys; a time of new joys and little sadnesses, too. There are new worries -- Mr Quimby is worried about finding a teaching job, Ramona is worried they may have to move if he does, and Beezus is worried about her teenage complexion.
And through it all Ramona, a grown up third-grader, remains a sometimes pesty, sometimes brave, sometimes blunderful, but always wonderful Ramona -- forever!
Ramona Quimby, former pest of Klickitat Street, is growing up. Ramona's world is changing too: A new little Quimby is expected, a marriage is announced, and a family pet dies. Listeners will admire Stockard Channing's skillful narration and masterful portrayal of Ramona and her family. By turns droll, indignant, and ironic, Channing uses tonal shifts to capture the many points of view in the Quimby household, characterizing amused adults and ruffled third-graders alike. The resulting story, read with energetic flair and enjoyment, is richly layered with multiple meanings that will entertain young listeners as well as adults. This is family listening at its best.
