Thank you for clarifying. It's been awhile since I've read the books and I'm not sure I've read all of the Ramona books. Thank you for the info. I'm headed to the library to check them out. Ah!

I’m a huge fan of the books, and I can’t wait to see the film next week! It will be wonderful to see a family film that focuses more on the characters than the special effects. I just wanted to clarify one thing: The first of Beverly Cleary’s books to focus on Ramona and Beezus Quimby, “Beezus and Ramona,” is told from Beezus’s perspective. In it, Ramona is four years old. The next 7 books in the Ramona series, however, are told from Ramona’s perspective (The film pulls heavily from these 7 books). Time passes between each book, and Ramona is in the 4th grade in the final novel, “Ramona’s World.” In the last couple books, therefore, Ramona and Beezus are around the ages of the characters in the film. Here is a great little article explaining why the filmmakers decided to have the girls be the ages they are in the final books: http://www.boston.com/community/moms/blogs/in_the_parenthood/2010/07/the_stars_of_ramona_and_beezus_on_family.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Great article!
