Originally published separately, these two volumes describe middle-schooler Amelia's outrage about an opponent's dirty tricks in a class election (Vote) and her insights into the pros and cons of childcare when she and best friend Carly team up to earn money (Babysitting). Budding cartoonist Amelia works out her anxieties in hand-lettered and illustrated notebooks; her lively, pitch-perfect voice draws readers in.
