About the Novel:
Ramona is a typical eight-year-old, but growing up is not easy! For instance, a new fad begins at school where the children whack hard-boiled eggs on their heads before they eat them. Unluckily for Ramona, she accidentally ends up wearing raw egg on her head this is not her favorite day! She also must deal with the challenges of being with a four-year-old after school, her older sisters moods, her father quitting his job and studying full time, the family car breaking down, and her familys financial troubles. By the end of this entertaining story, Ramona has come to terms with a few things and is just a little bit more mature.
