Junie B Jones

Junie B.

Jones is a fictional character from a series of children's books by Barbara Park, published from 1992 to 2013.

The books are written in the voice of their young narrator—grammatically imperfect, enthusiastic, and prone to misunderstanding adult concepts.

Junie B. became a touchstone for early readers, though some parents objected to her bad grammar and sassy attitude: My kid is obsessed with Junie B. Jones.
