Most little girls grew up reading Beverly Cleary’s books, especially her Ramona series, about a mischievous girl named Ramona and her older sister Beezus.  Even though the books were written during the 1950s and 1970s, the topics of sisterhood, family, friendship, and love are still relevant today.

A new film starring cute newcomer Joey King as Ramona and Disney Channel star Selena Gomez as Beezus is in theaters on July 23, 2010.
