"Ramona the Brave and Ramona Quimby, Age 8"



Ramona the Brave
The summer before first grade sure isn't an easy one for Ramona. She’s worried about starting 
school and it doesn’t help that so many other changes are going on in the Quimby house. And 
when Ramona finally takes her place in her new classroom, she realizes that first grade is not for 
cowards.

Ramona Quimby, Age 8
Now that Ramona is eight, she can go to a new school with a new teacher and ride the bus all by 
herself. But after school, Ramona has to stay with Mrs. Kemp and be nice to bratty Willa Jean. 
Back at home, Mr. Quimby’s going to college and Mrs. Quimby’s going to work. All the Quimbys 
have to adjust, and Ramona gets her chance to prove that she's "big enough for her family to 
depend on."
