Neither of my kids could get thru this. It's classic stuff, but not to their tastes. Ramona has a series of maniac misadventures which in my opinion read better than Junie B. Jones. Not that I'm a big favor of either, myself.
My kids say:
"Ramona is in third grade and does not like a certain person. I didn't really like it because it didn't catch my attention. So if you're interested in Junie B Jones, you might be interested in this."
An additional Ramona book; a must-read in the beloved series!

Great book!
From the first day of third grade, when Ramona Quimby meets her eventual nemesis Yard Ape, life moves on at its usual wild pace--usual for the boisterous Ramona, that is. Soon she is accidentally squashing a raw egg into her hair at the school cafeteria, being forced to play Uncle Rat with her annoying young neighbor, and, worst of all, throwing up in her classroom. The responsibilities of an 8-year-old are sometimes daunting, especially in a family that is trying to squeak by while the father goes back to school. But Ramona is full of too much vim and vigor to ever be down for long.
A terrific book and a really fun read.
