Summary
Add a SummaryRamona's world is changing. There's tiny baby Roberta at home, and as Ramona adjusts to being a big sister she discovers she likes teaching her to do things like stick out her tongue. In fourth grade now, she finally has a best girlfriend, new student Daisy Kidd. At school Ramona is frustrated with her teacher, Mrs. Meacham, who pushes her class to be proper spellers, a difficult subject for Ramona. Beezus, a 15-year-old just entering high school, starts speaking French around the house, spending a lot of time on the phone talking about boys, and making her little sister mad. Ramona begins to feel forgotten as Beezus, Mr. Quimby, and Mrs. Quimby are always fussing over Roberta. Ramona's rivalry with Susan, her nemesis since kindergarten, continues. Ramona's parents and Susan's parents have become friends, and both sets of parents have asked their daughters to get along with each other. Ramona is frustrated by Susan's perfect attitude. She reluctantly invites Susan to her "zero teenth" (tenth, actually) birthday party at the park at her mother's insistence. At the party, a silly dispute breaks out in which everyone turns against Susan, and for the first time, Ramona feels sorry for her and defends her, showing that she's beginning to be able to see things from someone else's point of view.

Ramona Quimby: [Watching a commercial, reciting the slogan] "Royal Peanut Butter: There's a bit of magic in every jar"! Bob Quimby: Is that one of your favorites? That's the rack we gotta get you into, 'cause those TV kids make millions. Ramona Quimby: Beezus, do you think I could be in a commercial like that? Beezus: [Fixing Ramona's hair with a curling iron] Sure, you'd make a great frog. Ramona Quimby: Hey! Beezus: Hold still. I'm almost done. Ramona Quimby: It's picture-perfect, right? Beezus: Let's be realistic, Ramona. This is a curling iron, not a magic wand. [She puts the curling iron down and holds up a mirror for Ramona to see what her new hairdo looks like] Beezus: But, all things considered, I'd say you've never looked better. Ramona Quimby: I love it! Thanks, Beezus!
Bob Quimby: So, Beezus, suppose I told you that when I pulled up by the house tonight I saw your old buddy Henry staring at it like he left something important inside of it.

Bob Quimby: Ooh, if I didn't know better, I'd say somebody's got a crush. Beezus: Can we please talk about something else? Dorothy Quimby: Well, there is that dance coming up. Maybe he wants to ask you to it. Bob Quimby: Well, if he's gonna ask my daughter to dance, he better have some moves. Can the old dirt-eater do this? [Mr. Quimby starts dancing very badly.
