Review
"Gownleyand#8217;s clear line drawings have plenty of character expression and humor in this seventh series installment--the fight scenes jump off the page with bold lettering and facial expressions. Readers will easily identify with Amelia and her growing pains." --andlt;iandgt;Publishers Weeklyandlt;/iandgt;
Synopsis
In the sixth volume of Amelia Rules!, Amelia helps Aunt Tanner revive her music career—and pays the price for doing so, Rhonda comes to terms with her newfound popularity, and Reggie discovers that you can’t stay a kid forever. And if that weren’t enough, Amelia finds out how a crush can truly be crushing. While Amelia learns about love the hard way, she discovers a number of true things (adults don’t want kids to know)—but, as always, with a generous dose of Gownley humor!
