Runaway Ralph By Beverly Cleary

I thought that this book was good for upper elementary aged children. Overall I really enjoyed the book. It moved quickly which would help keep a child's attention as they are reading. After Ralph runs away because his brothers are trying to steal his motorcycle I thought that it could relate to several children. After he runs away to Happy Acres Camp he decides that home wasn't that bad, but is unable to find his way back home. This is a good lesson for children that not getting along with their family or siblings isn't all that bad. Another reason I liked the book was the comedy. The book made me laugh several times, and that I'm sure children would also think it is funny!
