(3) 4-6 Amelia Rules! series. Amelia McBride continues to face life's challenges head-on--and with humor. In Happy she learns more about her former-rocker aunt's past. Superheroes brings a new friend with a secret. Present dives into a box of family photos and mementos. Life gets philosophical. The humor and tumult of the transitional middle-grade years are tenderly explored in these well-illustrated graphic novels. Review covers these Amelia Rules! titles: The Meaning of Life...and Other Stuff, Superheroes, What Makes You Happy, and When the Past Is a Present.
