This book is perfect for elementary students. Leah and Amelia loved this idea and this was hopefully going to get Leah to stop asking to read what is in Amelia's notebook. To do this, Leah would write a sentence, then Amelia, then Leah, etc. They were going to make a story together in Amelia's notebook. Once the talk of the fire had calmed down, Amelia came up with a great idea for her and Leah. Amelia and her classmates got to go on a tour of her school, luckily her classroom didn't have any damage from the fire. As if the fight with Leah wasn't enough, Amelia's school had a fire and she found out when she attended school the next morning. Leah ends up getting upset about not being able to read it and she tells Amelia that they can't sit together at lunch because they aren't friends. Half of her wants Leah to read the notebook while the other half wants her privacy and doesn't want Leah to be able to read it. Her friend Leah has found out about her notebook and she wants to be able to read it. In the beginning of the graphic novel, Amelia is in a situation. In the graphic novel, Amelia Writes Again, Amelia receives a new notebook from her friend for her birthday. Oh, and this is the one where one of Amelia's friends pressures her to let her see her notebook, even saying, 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours.' I will gladly snap a pic from any of my journals to anyone who asks, but anyone being that persistent about seeing them would be suspicious. My main complaint is that this notebook just feels so short.

Amelia even talks about her worries after a very scary incident involving the safety of her school, which all schoolchildren can certainly relate to now. The relative simplicity of Amelia's life, while maybe not as widely applicable to children's lives now, is celebrated with Amelia's candid writing and doodles sprinkled throughout her notebook, where she tells us all about her friends Leah and Nadia, her new school, and her life living with her mom and the infamous Cleo. Happily, they've retained their '90s charm without seeming too dated. These books, unsurprisingly, don't exactly thrill me like they used to. Klise may or may not be offended by having another author's creation branding her postcard, but of course it was too late.Īmelia's Notebook has yet to come in from another library, and I had too many holds to wait, so I started my reread of the Amelia's Notebooks with Amelia Writes Again. It seemed a wonderfully antiquated thing to do, and shortly after, I found an Amelia-themed stationary kit with some Amelia-themed postcards and used one to send to Kate Klise, telling her how much I loved her books Regarding the Fountain and Trial by Jury. I remember being impressed with the idea of a kid my age writing postcards to her friends.
