Synopsis

Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby is a girl who has to deal with the antics of her imaginative younger sister, Ramona Quimby. She is given the nickname Beezus by Ramona because the latter could not say Beatrice when she first learned to talk. Beezus is frequently annoyed or embarrassed by Ramona's behavior throughout the story. In one case, Ramona writes in a library book that Beezus then has to purchase. In another, Ramona ruins Beezus' checker game with Henry Huggins and locks Ribsy, Henry's dog, in the bathroom. Henry leaves and Beezus becomes angry. She also invites four friends over without her mother's permission. Later in the story, she ruins Beezus' birthday cake.

Beezus often feels guilty because she knows she is supposed to love Ramona, but has a hard time with that. While she tries to read to her and care for her, Beezus often gets mad about the things Ramona does. Frustrated, Beezus asks their mother if she was like Ramona when she was younger. Their mother replies that yes, she was different in some ways, such as being quieter. This pleases Beezus, who dislikes Ramona's tendency to be very noisy. Then Mrs. Quimby explains how she and her sister, Beezus and Ramona's Aunt Beatrice, were also very different as children. Beezus begins to think about her mom and aunt, and how much they love each other, and realizes that Ramona is not such a bad sister after all.

Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby is a character from the Henry Huggins and Ramona series of books by Beverly Cleary. She is the friend of Henry, Mary Jane, and the older sister of Ramona and Roberta. Beezus earned her nickname from Ramona, who had a hard time saying Beatrice. Beezus' favorite aunt is Aunt Beatrice.

In some of the stories, Beezus is jealous of Ramona because she gets a lot of attention and because her art work is taped on the fridge. Beezus and Ramona is the only story that is written from Beezus' point of view. It is revealed that Beezus is the rightful owner of Picky-picky because she got him before Ramona was born. Beezus can be stubborn, and spends a lot of time looking at herself in the mirror. Beezus tries not to eat chocolate because of her acne.

In some stories, Beezus gets along with Ramona very well. Sometimes, Beezus doesn't. In Ramona's World, Beezus gets her ears pierced without her parents' permission and they let her off with a warning, and she starts to wear make up. She has a crush on Daisy Kidd's older brother Jeremy. Beezus makes her first appearance in the Henry series and continues to appear in the Ramona series. Beezus has a new baby sister named Roberta in Ramona Forever. Beezus loves reading, shown in Beezus and Ramona. Beezus makes a new friend in Ramona's World.

Award winning short filmmaker Elizabeth Allen follows up her debut feature, Aquamarine, with this adaptation of the Newbury Award winning children's book series by author Beverly Cleary. Scribe Laurie Craig steps in to assume screenwriting duties for the live action feature centering on the adventures of mischievous youngster Ramona Quimby.
