Childhood Flashback

Beverly Cleary's Ramona Quimby books were childhood favorites of mine, and I just learned that a movie version - "Ramona and Beezus" - is set to begin production soon. Seems a little silly for me to write about, as the books and certainly the movie are geared toward such a young audience, but I am a little curious to see what this screen interpretation will look like and what decade it will be set in (when the stories in the books took place or present-day today?). It does looks to be pretty well cast. As is always the case when good books (especially classics or ones so widely beloved, such as Cleary's) are turned into films, I can only hope that the movie does it justice and, in this case, makes more kids want to read these books!
