Amelia's Notebook

by Marissa Moss

Published 1 February 1995
Amelia is not happy. She's been forced to move away from her old home, her old friends and her old school - and her mother seems to think that writing things down in some stupid notebook will solve everything. Soon, however, Amelia realises how much fun scribbling down her thoughts can actually be. In a unique and funny way, she spills the beans on everything - her old friend Nadia (how much she misses her), her embarrassing older sister Cleo (her totally disgusting table manners), and her new teachers (the good, the bad and the ugly). Even when it seems that nobody is listening, Amelia has always got something to say...

Amelia can't believe eighth grade is finally here! She knows this will be the most exciting year yet for her and her best friend, Carly. But a lot of the other girls are thinking about one thing, and one thing only: boys. Amelia has never wanted a boyfriend. Crushes are for the silly girls who are always fixing their hair and thinking about shopping and what to wear next....right? But when a nice boy named Gerald appears in her class, Amelia thinks she might like to go to the school dance with him. It would be fun to have someone to dance with-but can she work up the nerve to ask him? What if he says no? Is the possible reward worth the risk? There's only one way to find out....

Once again, Marissa Moss tells a tale of wisdom gained in the humorous and human way that has earned her millions of loyal readers.
