Emily Bartlett yearns for a library—but her small 1920s town can’t afford one. Never fear, Emily and her runaway imagination will find a way!

Beverly Cleary is one of the world’s most treasured children’s authors. Now Emily’s Runaway Imagination—unusual in Mrs. Cleary’s books for its historical setting, yet as contemporary in its humor and adventure as all her titles—joins the Ramona, Henry, and Ralph Mouse books with this newly reillustrated edition.
