I have loved the Amelia Rules series since the first book came out, and was so happily surprised to see that this one has come out! It's been ages since a new Amelia Rules book came out!

Anyway, this one is just as good as all of the previous ones in the series. Rhonda's new hairdo will take some getting used to, however, but I think she's happy with it, so I can adjust. ( )

I love the Frank Miller Dark Knight wink on p. 111. ( )

Rhonda Bleenie is reading the self-help title The Tweenage Guide to Not Being Unpopular, and she convinces Amelia and her other friends to use its methods to impress the rest of the students at Joe McCarthy Elementary School and improve their social standing, but after an initial success with a school report it all goes terribly wrong with results that are by turns catastrophic, enlightening, and hilarious. ( )

Amelia McBride is a funny, strong, warm hearted individual who always gets in trouble. This is the fifth book in this light hearted series and worth purchasing for any young reader aged 8-12. Boys and girls would enjoy this lough out loud sereis. ( )

Amelia McBride is, I think, the most realistic, believable character in comics. I absolutely love this series.

And I would not, for anything in the world, want to go back to being ten years old and struggling with fitting into my peer group. ( )

Whyyyyyyyyy did I wait so long to pick up one of the Amelia books?! This hilarious, full-color graphic novel reads like an episode of a Nickelodeon cartoon (and I mean that in a good way). Highly recommended for fans of Babymouse, Dear Dumb Diary, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. My own complaint has nothing to do with the book, really, but the paperbacks I ordered for my library are printed on VERY thin paper that rips easily. I wish the book was sturdier because I will now be shoving them into the hands of every kid I see. ( )

No matter how much time passes between volumes, whenever a new one comes out it's always a time to celebrate!

This latest book delves into the awkwardness of a young teen trying to find acceptance with her peers while realizing that the "weird" friends she has are still fun. Typical Amelia zaniness with its usual touching moments makes this another great book worthy of a hundred guffaws! ( )
