Warning: Beverly Cleary faltered ONCE with the 1999 release, RAMONA'S WORLD, which just didn't WORK for me, though a kid reading it by themselves might not notice. I think she was trying to be modern and that's just not the point of Cleary or the Ramona books. All her others are not modern, and manage to be TIMELESS. (Her autobiography is also really good, and apologies if I've told you this before. I think I spend most of my life in people's DMs talking about how good Beverly Cleary's autobiography is...)
