Ramona Quimby, Aged 8

In this sixth book in the series, Ramona is in the third grade and is big enough to ride the school bus on her own. She's determined to enjoy the third grade — that is until she gets sick and throws up right in front of everyone in the class! But being a patient isn't all bad, and although being eight isn't easy, it's never dull.

Tackles common issues with humour and sympathy.
