Illustrated by
Alan Tiegreen.
Although it's been fifteen years since Ramona Forever, only two months have passed for the heroine herself, now armed for fourth grade with news of her new baby sister, Roberta. Cleary here seems intent upon making Ramona (and Beezus) more typical than individualized, and while fans may welcome this Ramona redux, it's disappointing to see how innocuous she's become.
