The Whole worlds crazy!

====As the Amelia Rules! series opens, nine-year-old Amelia MacBride has just moved from New York to Pennsylvania because of her parents’ divorce. She has no time to dwell on her problems, though, because she falls in right away with a goofy new set of friends: Reggie, who is living the superhero lifestyle despite being in fourth grade; Rhonda, who goes along with Reggie’s schemes because of her enormous crush on him; and Pajamaman, a runty little kid who never speaks. In a series of short story arcs over these four volumes, Amelia and her friends fight over the TV, catch fireflies, and wage all-out war on the ninjas a few streets over. There are many serious moments along with the fun, however. Amelia must face an awkward visit with her father, the prospect of moving yet again, and her mother’s first date. Problems crop up outside the family circle as well; one friend has a life-threatening disease, while another must deal with her father being stationed overseas. Through all this, Amelia’s anchor is her aunt Tanner, a retired rocker whose smirk and belly shirts conceal a great deal of wisdom. Amelia’s mother is loving but a bit scattered; her father is loving but far away; but Tanner is right there, and she gets it. ====
