Ramona's job is to be nice to fussy Mrs. Kemp, who watches her while her mother works. If Mrs. Quimby didn't work, Mr. Quimby couldn't return to, college. On top of all that, third grade isn't turning out as Ramona expected, even though she enjoys her class's new reading program, D.E.A.R. Danny the Yard Ape teases her, and, on one horrible day, she throws up—at school. Being eight isn't easy, but it's never dull! --back cover

That was a packed book, a lot of changes for the Quimby family and the fun the parents had was pretty great, just dealing with aging in silly ways. Aw, man... that chapter six! What a wipe out, but then again that is a good thing to have in kids books because it really hits home. We had so many stories like that from whatever perspective as kids, seriously. (Yack stories.) Plus the principal "pal" thing was hilarious.

And the commercials! It could be classic on one had but very dated on another. We had to look up the "I can't believe I ate the whole thing," commercial for Alka-Seltzer, and the Wells Fargo stage coach one, not sure about the others, but you'd think there would be a video playlist somewhere with all the TV commercial references from this book.

Oh and the Purina cat chow one with that …
