Amelia's BFF (Amelia's Notebook)

Gr 3-5--In her latest journal, Amelia's in-town and out-of-town best friends meet for the first time. Jealousy ensues and Amelia is caught in the middle. She wants to enter a school baking competition with both friends but they are determined not to like one another and are now both angry at Amelia. With a handwriting-like font, color doodles, sketches, and thought bubbles, this is an easy read that feels like a chapter in a larger story. Amelia may be in middle school, but her journal is appropriate for the elementary school crowd, and her fans should be satisfied with this offering. For more of Amelia's story, look for the 20+ journals that came before this one.--Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA
