Product Description
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!
Amazon.com Review
Misunderstandings abound in Ramona Quimby's life. Even at the ripe old age of 8, she continues to find herself in trouble when she least expects it. It's a time of many changes: Ramona's friend Howie's rich uncle comes to visit from Saudi Arabia, her mother seems suspiciously fatter, and Aunt Beatrice begins dating a mystery man. It's more important than ever for Ramona and her big sister Beezus to be good, but there are so many opportunities to mess up! Beverly Cleary has somehow managed to remember the intricate workings of a young girl's mind and heart. With several dozen children's books and many awards under her belt, she is one of America's most beloved authors. Winner of the Newbery Medal for Dear Mr. Henshaw, as well as the Newbery Honor for Ramona and Her Father and Ramona Quimby, Age 8, Cleary balances raucously funny childhood adventures with poignantly real circumstances and emotions. Alan Tiegreen's clever line drawings have faithfully accompanied many of Cleary's books over the years. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

• Ramona Saves The Day!!! 21 November, 2008
Ramona Forever was a story about part of Ramona's life. The main characters were Ramona, Beezus (her real name is Beatrice), Mr. and Mrs. Quimby, Aunt Beatrice, Uncle Hobart, Pamela, Howie, Willa Jean, and Mrs. Kemp.
I can relate to Ramona because she had a really bad time at someplace, and I have bad times at places too. I felt the same way Howie did when he fell off his unicycle.
My favorite part of Ramona Forever was when Uncle Hobart told Ramona that he and Aunt Beatrice were going to get married, because it was surprising. If I could change Algie's name, I would change it to Howard.
I recommend this book to people who like Fiction.

• Enjoyable For All Kids 12 April, 2005
Ramona Quimby and her sister, Beezus, stay at a neighbors' house after school. But when their neighbors' rich uncle comes for a visit, embarassing and irritating both girls, they beg their parents to stay home alone. Their parents agree, but a lot can happen when you're home alone, especially when one of the most fiesty, trouble-making eight-year-olds has to try to be obedient! And as if that isn't enough to keep Ramona busy, many more problems arise. Her father is having trouble finding a job, and her mother, who Ramona and Beezus notice is becoming unusually tired and concerned about gaining too much weight, seems to be keeping a big secret for someone, one she refuses to tell the girls. How will Ramona manage?
This book was so interesting that I read it twice. I just finished my second reading, and though it became boring in some parts because I had already read it a previous time, it was entertaining and enjoyable. Ramona is a fun character that will enchant children young and old, as well as a few children-at-heart. If you like Junie B. Jones, or have enjoyed previous Ramona books, then I guarentee you will like this book! It's a good one!

• Ramona Forever 17 October, 2006
Ramona is a regular girl until she finds out something her mom wants to keep from her. A Beverly Cleary book, Ramona Forever is based on the troubles Ramona goes through to be considered a good girl. How hard it is to get your place taken is one of Ramona's troubles. The book is just right for children that want something entertaining, because Ramona's life can be compared to others.
Ramona Forever was written for Elementary School kids. In the grades forth and over. The book has proper language for the age group. It has easy vocabulary too, and it also contains a lot of illustrations for being a chapter book.
Since this part of Ramona's life is seems so real, this book is serious, anxious, and concerned. It gives much information to know how Ramona and her family are like. "Mother will you phone Mrs. Kemp know?" "Won't that upset mother?" "Ramona do you want to go to your room?"
This book is filled with plenty dialogue, narrative. The book is well-organized because it's in chronological order that it's good enough to understand. It has many sad points as Ramona's life goes. This book also has illustrations that are very artistic and some fancy ones too.
Young readers will love Ramona Forever. The way the book tells the hard times Ramona has is not boring. After all readers will find it fun, and interesting.
