More About the Author

Marissa Moss has been telling stories and drawing pictures to go with them for as long as she can remember. She sent her first book to publishers when she was nine, but it wasn't very good and it never got published. She didn't try again until she was a grown-up, but since then she hasn't stopped.

The idea for the first Amelia's Notebook came from the notebook Moss kept when she was a kid. Amelia is a lot like her and the things that happen to Amelia really happened to Marissa (mostly).

Along with Amelia, Moss has created many characters and is especially drawn to history. Historical books allows her to imagine what it's like to be alive in a different place at a completely different time. And then there are the Max Disaster books which allow her to play with scientific experiments, inventions, and comic strips.

I absolutely love this book! I got it for my 12 year old granddaughter who is a drawing fanatic and won 300$ in prize money for doing a
winter scene for the cover of a magazine. Even though she is already super talented, she thought this was the cutest book ever and loved
doing the drawings in it! I had to get another one to draw along with her, and then my husband wanted one, and then her (my granddaughter's)
little sister (age 5)! And when we were done, we all bought more so we could do it again! As you can see, we are obsessed with this phenomenal book!
Now we have a whole collection! It is so much fun to see how we had gotten better! The other Amelia books are to die for too! But it
was this one that really got us sucked into the Amelia series. Please, do me a favor and buy this book, 'cause it is wonderful! This is a book for all ages!
Seriously. I hope you find this helpful, and no, we are not crazy.
