You mean the 'Ramona Quimby' by Beverly Cleary. I loved those books (and the TV show) as a kid. It was great to read a story about a little girl who was into adventures and fought with her sister rather than one who spent her days playing prissy princess! She was a bit of a tom-boy like I was so the series appealed to me.
Things that stick out most was that her sister was called something weird like 'Beezy' or 'Beesus' but her real name was 'Beatrice', which actually sounded better than her nickname, and Ramona's best friend had this weird uncle. I'm sure the series ended with Ramona having a new baby sister (which she couldn't visit in the hospital because she was too young and kids had to be eleven to visit the maternity ward!).

OMG, sure- the Ramona series by Beverly Cleary! They were my favorites when I was a kid. And Ramona's sister's name was Beezus, right? Yup, I used to read them all the time.

Of course, I believe it was a required read at my school. The Ramona books were wonderful and what's even more interesting was mailing the author questions and she actually replied back. That was beautiful!

Kelly Armstrong's 'Otherworld' sequence is all female leads(it does not have the comparable female lead with the aid of out the sequence, however the e book are suitable), additionally the Darkest Powers sequence is super(comparable lead, yet a teenager sequence). The Protector of the small quartet with the aid of Tamora Pierce is super, and so is Laurie Stolarz's Blue is for Nightmares sequence.

Ohhhh I love Ramona!
Remember when she went to the park with Beezus and asked her to push her on the swing and the teen boys started teasing Beezus because of her nick name (Jesus Beezus) and Ramona yelled at them that they shouldn't take the Lord's name in vain? lol
Oh and what about the Kemps little girl Willa Jean? Ramona got a good dose of how rotten she used to be. I couldn't wait for my daughter to get old enough for me to share the books with her. We read them aloud as bedtime stories along with the books about Fudge by Judy Blume.

Sure. They're by Beverly Cleary. (i.e.: "Ramona Quimby. Age 8")
