 Tagline: A little sister goes a long way.
Based on the "Ramona" series of novels written by Beverly Cleary. As everyone knows, Ramona Quimby lives on Klickitat Street. The stories of her adventures begin in Beezus and Ramona, where Beezus, who is just turning ten, finds four-year-old Ramona an exasperating little sister.
First published over 50 years ago, Beverly Cleary’s books have entertained several generations of readers. The cast and filmmakers of the first major motion picture based on Cleary’s series – Ramona and Beezus – typifies the books’ cross-generational appeal. The film’s Ramona, Joey King, began reading the book series before she was cast in the role. Selena Gomez, the on-screen Beezus, had read the books in elementary school. “I love how Beverly writes the characters,” says the popular singer-actress. “We wanted to do justice to Beverly and her work, and to make her proud. We all did our homework and worked really hard to be true to the characters. I think this movie is going to be a fun family experience.”
“I grew up on the Ramona books, as did my mother who passed them down to me,” says Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays Ramona and Beezus’ Aunt Bea. “I think the way the books are passed down from parent to child is what’s magical about the whole series. The thing that really struck me when I reread the books was how Beverly Cleary captured the childhood experience.”
