About The Book
The first volume in the comics sensation Amelia Rules!—now repackaged as a hardcover!
Meet Amelia Louise McBride. She’s 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 she’s dealing with being the new kid in school, many trips to the principal’s office, first kisses, etc. But you know what? She’s got her friends Reggie, Rhonda, and Pajamaman, and everything’s going to be okay. Except, of course, when it isn’t.
This first volume in the hit series sees Amelia and her friends taking on bullies, barely surviving gym class, learning the truth about Santa, and the dubious merits of the elusive Sneeze Barf.
