Meet Amelia Louise McBride. Shes been forced to move out of Manhattan after her parents decided to get divorced, and is now living in a small town (who cares which one) with her mom and her aunt, Tanner. Not to mention the fact that shes dealing with being the new kid in school, many trips to the principals office, first kisses, etc. But you know what? Shes got her friends Reggie, Rhonda, and Pajamaman, and everythings going to be okay. Except, of course, when it isnt.
In Book 3, the members of G.A.S.P. (Gathering of Awesome Super Pals) embrace their inner superheroes, even if it means wearing underwear over their pants.

"A character to rival Ramona." -- School Library Journal
Review
“In writer-artist Jimmy Gownley’s deft hands, Amelia is one of the sweetest and [most] endearing comics series around today…it’s just moving, simple, true-life stuff…. Gownley deserves more credit than he gets for his inventive use of artwork throughout this series. It’s as creative as Amelia herself.”
