Tuesday Book Trivia Week 8

Happy Tuesday & welcome to week 8 of Book Trivia Tuesday.  Last week we discussed the first modern novel published in 1605 - Don Quixote written by Miguel de Cervantes.

Today's trivia question comes after my recent Beverly Cleary finds (if you haven't watched the reel on IG, you can view it here:  Wendy - Vintage Bookshop (@logcabinvintage) • Instagram photos and videos 

What famous character was created by Beverly Cleary by accident while writing another book?  Bonus points if you can name the book the character first appeared in.

Beverly Cleary created her now famous character Ramona in the book Henry Huggins.  She realized Beezus needed a younger sister & Ramona was born (no pun intended).  From there, 8 novels featuring Ramona were written including Ramona and Her Father, which was a 1978 Newbery Honor Book.

What is your favorite Ramona Book?  Mine has to be Ramona the Pest.  I loved it a child & want to reread it this year.
