4-6Amelia Rules! series.
Four briskly moving graphic novels follow nine-year-old Amelia and her life with her divorced mom, former-rock-star aunt, and friends. In Heroes, Amelia learns about frenemies; Kisses features a tame spin-the-bottle game; Fireflies presents the threat of moving from the neighborhood; and Graceland humorously considers the changes a move might bring. The illustrations lack subtlety, but these are comical views of tween-age dramas. Review covers these Amelia Rules! titles: Amelia in Fireflies and Time, Amelia and Her Three Kisses, Amelia in Heroes and Villains, and Amelia in Into Graceland.
