We finished this book awhile ago, but naturally I'm behind getting it posted up. We haven't started a new one yet, either, but next in line is Superfudge. (So excited about that one!) Anyway, like the prequel, Runaway Ralph is a cute book that kept us all entertained. It's fun to read about a mouse-sized hero with great big adventures! :) Here's the teaser from Beverly Cleary's website:
.
"The rousing notes of the bugle and the laughter and shouting increased the feeling of rebellion within Ralph. As the last strains of the bugle call hovered in the clear mountain air, Ralph made up his mind. He knew now what he was going to do. He was going to run away."
Fed up with his timid mother and uncle and his squirmy little cousins, Ralph hops onto his toy motorcycle and zooms down the road to summer camp. It turns out camp is not all peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and fun. A strict watchdog, a mouse-hungry cat, and a troubled boy named Garf lead Ralph on some fur-raising escapades. Perhaps home isn't such a bad place to be, if only Ralph can find a way to get there again.

Sounds like a fun book. That one will go on the list for the kids.
I just finished reading These is my Words about a week ago and I LOVED that one. I'm running out of stuff to read while I'm waiting for Breaking Dawn. Any more interesting adult reads?
I too love Beverly Cleary books. I used to read Ramona Quimby books ALL THE TIME when I was little. I remember liking superfudge too.
