Ramona the Brave
Author(s): Beverly Cleary
Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary lovingly chronicles the ups and downs of elementary school woes. This is perfect for fans of Clementine.
For a girl as enthusiastic about life as Ramona, starting the first grade should be easy! But with a teacher who doesn't understand her, a tattletale classmate, and a scary dog who follows her on the walk home from school, Ramona has a hard time acting like the big girl everyone expects her to be.
But when she shows up to school with a missing shoe, Ramona gets a fresh grip on her courage in order to make it through a mortifying situation.
Ramona the Brave is a wonderful choice for independent reading, sharing in the classroom, homeschooling, and book groups. Readers ages 6-12 will laugh and relate to Ramona's timeless adventures.
