Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-13 00:00:00 Robert BESSETT You guys, Beverly Cleary is 98 and still alive, and I realize it's horribly selfish of me to try to take up her remaining years, but do you think we can convince her to write another Ramona book? Because I've checked that illustrator Alan Tiegreen is also still alive, so I really think this should happen. In this last(?) Quimby adventure, we have: new baby Roberta and Ramona's interactions with her, from cleaning up rejected peas to babysitting for 15 minutes, omg; a new (girl!) best friend for Ramona who seems to have an equally awesome family (I kind of can't get over that picture of Ramona falling through the attic floor); Beezus, growing up, with earrings and phone calls and parties (my fave illustration in the book is Beezus in all of her party-clothes glory); a blossoming relationship between Ramona and Yard Ape in which they exchange inside jokes about peas and I basically scream all over the place at the adorableness; a birthday party at a playground so the girls can work on their calluses from the monkey bars then they eat cake with whipped cream (this seems like the best, most normal little kid party to ever exist). Never be done Beverly Cleary, Alan Tiegreen, and Ramona :(

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-04 00:00:00 Betty J Harris This is the last of the Ramona series. Ramona's World, finds Ramona starting fourth grade. She is exited about telling her class about her new baby sister, Roberta. I enjoyed this book, but it also made me sad, because I knew it was the last. I always find myself wondering, what comes next. I want to continue to follow Ramona, watch as she tackles high school. I know writer's have to know when to stop, and the book's were for younger readers, but I still can't help wondering, what happens to Ramona. The book ended with Ramona tenth birthday, her party, and her finding new ways to see people. A great book, and a great series, I will always love.
