Henry Huggins #2: Henry and Beezus

Henry Huggins is friends with Beezus Quimby - even though she's a girl and has a pesky little sister. Her name is Ramona, and she's got a way of causing trouble!

When Henry finds a bonanza of gum balls, Beezus helps him take them to school to sell. She knows he's trying to earn money for a bike. Henry's best chance to get one comes when there's an auction for lost bikes at the police station. He sets off to buy a red one, but Beezus and Ramona tag along - and Ramona brings a fat slimy garden slug...
