RAMONA AND HER FATHER - Avon

Ramona just wanted everyone to be happy. If only her father would smile and joke again, her mother would look less worried, her sister would be cheerful, and Picky-picky would eat his cat food. But Ramona's father had lost his job, and nobody was in a very good mood. Ramona kept trying to cheer up her family, but every new idea seemed to cause more trouble . Her sister Beezus called her a pest, her parents became impatient with her, and her teacher claimed she had forgotten her manners. But when her father told her he wouldn't trade her for a million dollars, Ramona knew everything was going to be OK. 'Ramona is justifiably one of the most famous and loved characters in children's fiction.' -Publishers Weekly-
