Amelia is back, with her gang of superheroes and ninjas. This time she is working on figuring out why everyone is being so nice to her. Even the obnoxious triplets! Then she realizes that her Aunt Tanner's old music career is suddenly getting lots and lots of attention. The thing is, Tanner never talks about her life as a musician. Amelia does some investigating and snoops through her mother's things to try and figure out why Tanner is so quiet about the whole thing.

While this is happening, of course, there is superheroe / ninja drama. Kisses are had, Mary Violet becomes Ultra Violet, and Reggie is drunk with power!

Amelia Rules, a fiction written by Jimmy Gownley has both a humorous and life like side. This is a book any kid can relate to! Amelia has tons of stuff going on and even a crush she's trying to impress but just cant find the right words to let him know. The pictures are colorful and the people show a lot of expression. I personally think you will really enjoy reading this book.
Reviewer,Kristin. ( )

‘ Amelia Rules’ is a hard-cover graphic novel series comprised of thirty pages of the comical life of young Amelia Louise McBride. The series is aimed at a young audience as Amelia and her friends take on bullies, school, and family. In ‘Amelia in What Makes You Happy,’ Amelia and her entire school discover that Amelia’s Aunt Tanner is an ex-rock star. Dealing with the sudden attention, Amelia recognizes the importance of true friends and family. The author includes comical antidotes and maintains appropriate content. Although the content and visual images are appropriate, Amelia is portrayed as sassy when dealing with her arch nemesis. The illustrations readily portray movement and sound effects by the frequent usage of squiggly lines and shadows. Young readers will find this series fun and refreshing. ( )

I really enjoy reading these graphic novels because they are fun, entertaining and funny.

Aunt Tanner is suddenly in the spotlight again; the superheroes club takes in new members to fight the menace of the East Park Ninjas; Amelia gets three kisses, visits her father and her best friend in New York City, and then unexpectedly discovers a new friend back in Pennsylvania. ( )
