Ramona Quimby, Age 8

Plot
Ramona has started third grade, and the worse subject is spelling because she is probably the worst speller in the class. Although the worse thing about school is she is not sure if her new teacher likes her because she is jumpy, energetic and, well you know Ramona! The best part is she feels like the biggest kid in school when she gets to ride the bus - alone. Although things aren't only good at school, Mr Quimby has gone back to college to get a better job. On a horrible terrible no good day Ramona throws up in class from the look of her science project, causing her mother to take off work. Now Ramona has to do a book report, and her teacher convinces her she loves jumpy, energetic kids because they keep her day going.
