These books by Marissa Moss are some of the few that I can give directly to my daughter and NOT have to preview. They are delightful, funny, and portray the feelings of a teenage girl. I hope the author will remain true to the series and not SMUT them up.

My daughter brings this book to school with her in case she has free time. To say that this book is a miracle is putting it mildly. I love the Amelia books because they excite my 10 year old daughter.

Super cute book. Love the summer camp theme. Some of my favorite lines: "I was ready to fight mom on this one - she can't make me have fun...I mean there's no such thing as forced fun!". I also enjoyed the Measure of Muleness graph :) The comparison of camp packing lists - Carly's (friends) to her Amelia's mom's was so funny..."any list that starts with underwear can't be good". In fact, Carly's list actually looked like it could have been my daughter's - starting with nail polish and ending with lip gloss! The list of bad camp food cracked me up including baked beans (no bean is good unless it's a jelly bean) and hobo stew (another name for left over mush). I relived one of my worst childhood (and beyond) fears in this book - the creepiness of swimming in dark water. The author doesn't forget to cover GIRL DRAMA driven by adoration of the same boy! Her signs of a crush clues cracked me up. She crawled inside the tween's head - 4 sure. Finally, don't forget to read the notes on the conversion table in the back. Cute. Super cute - I liked this book!
