Ramona the Brave Book

Ramona Quimby is an ICON!

In my ongoing book unhaul project I came across another childhood favorite Ramona the Brave. I'm donating this book but I decided to reread first.

I haven't read this book in well over 25 years(I'm old). I expected to find Ramona to be annoying because I find most children to be annoying. But shock of shocks

RAMONA IS A MOTHERFUCKING ICON!

Ramona is a mess in the best way. She is always ready to fight, she loves putting people in their place, and she takes shit from NO ONE!

Ramona is everything. She was one one my favorite characters as a child( Harriet from Harriet the Spy was another one) and I still love her. Ramona like all iconic women, is unappreciated by those around her. Ramona is extra in every sense of the word.

Maybe I loved and continue to love Ramona because I was just like her as a child. I was alot to handle and sure my parents often wished that they had used more effective birth control but they loved me and they never tried to tame me. Little girls are often forced to conform to society's view of how girls and women should behave. I wish more little girls got to be themselves like Ramona and like I did.

All Time Fave!
Iconic!
A Must Read At Any Age!
