Ramona wants to get close to her mother the way her big sister Beezus gets along with her mother. She wants everybody to like her especially her mother.
And along with that comes unexpected events that will make us smile :)

I find the book entertaining, but I can't figure is it because when little I felt the same way--the book is about a seven and a half year old girl--or is it because my understanding comes from an adult's point of view?
I like it anyway and will read another Beverly Cleary's works :)
