By Marissa Moss (except for words and pictures by Amelia. Just finished reading four of these books...all very cute. The cover looks like a composition notebook and inside are the writings and drawings of Amelia, a nine year old who has to move. She doesn't want to leave behind her friends and everything she knows. She writes about her trip to the new house, starting a new school and meeting new people in a very cute way. She makes little notes and pictures and attaches items in the notebook to remember things she did. I know when I was a kid I really enjoyed HARRIET THE SPY by Louise Fitzhugh...because Harriet wrote in a notebook. This is neat because kids can see what Amelia is writing, in her handwriting and her pictures. There are several more than 4 in this series that address other issues, vacation, boredom, family life. It is a very good series and made me think back to being 9 or 10.
