Features: People are never satisfied, even in their own happy childhood. Ramona is an eight-year-old girl who will be entering third grade in elementary school. Because her father needs to go back to school, the whole family must live frugally, and she is also forced to accompany the four-year-old and disliked younger sister, Beezie, every day. However, Ramona feels that this is her responsibility for the family. Ramona is like real children—she loves to stand out at school but worries that others will call her a brat at home; she is picky about food but understands her mother after being punished to cook dinner by hand once; when she is sick, she pretends to be in pain to elicit sympathy and attention from others; she has a rich imagination and writes a unique and brilliant book report. In short, when you read this book, you will truly feel that Ramona is someone around you, and she is so smart, lovable, and real. This book won the Newbery Honor Award.
