description: Things just aren't the same for Ramona Quimby since her father lost his job and her mother went to work all day at the doctor's office. Even her sister, Beezus, seems grumpier than usual and Picky-picky, the cat, refuses to eat! All this worries Ramona, not to mention the fact that her father's lungs may be turning black from smoking cigarettes. With a cross father, a tired mother, a sister who always worries and a cat who won't eat, Ramona feels like the only normal member of the Quimby household. Christmas is just around the corner, and Ramona wants to take part in the annual Church pageant. But with Mrs. Quimby working so late, who will sew Ramona's costume? And will her father ever find another job?
