When I saw this book I wasn’t real sure about it. The cover looks like a composition notebook. Like most middle school students Amelia believed that she had left behind the years when she would be embarrassed by all kinds of things. Then the worst thing of all happens. Her science class is going on a three day field trip and her older sister is going along. Could it get any worse? Oh yes. She gets stuck in her sister’s group. Now she is afraid her sister will tell all of her friends about her most embarrassing moments. I loved this book. It tackled all of the problems and fears new middle school students face. I remember taking a weekend trip with our church youth group. My mother was one of the chaperones. I was so afraid that I would be embarrassed by her. I found out what fun she could be. She was a totally different person with all of the other youth around. I know many of my intensive reading students would love the length of this book and the way it is set up. ( )
