"Ramona and Her Mother"--a National Book Award winner--has many stand-out moments. But my favorites are:
*Mrs. Quimby revealing that she dreams of being less-than-sensible. Sitting outside and blowing dandelion fluff all over the place, even though that will mean WEEDS.
*Mrs. Quimby losing her cool over the pancake batter. (Never claim that unfinished pancakes are ready--if you're warring with your husband.)
*Mrs. Quimby strategically over-stuffing Ramona's suitcase, in the climactic scene.
Just a reminder that that's all packed into this "mid-series" novel. It holds up really well....
