A Very Ninja Christmas (Amelia Rules) [Paperback]

Jimmy Gownley (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Series: Amelia Rules

Meet Amelia Louise McBride.

She's nine years old, a former New Yorker who's now living in a small town after her parents decided to get divorced, and dealing with everything from being the new kid in school to her first kiss. But you know what? She's got her mom and her aunt Tanner (who happens to be an ex-rock star) and her friends Reggie, Rhonda, and Pajamaman, and everything's going to be okay. Except, of course, when it isn't.

In this special holiday edition, Amelia focuses on what's really important at Christmas...ninjas! That is, until she realizes that not everyone, including her good friend Pajamaman, is as fortunate as she. Perhaps Amelia will create a Christmas miracle of her own....

With a heartwarming story and behind-the-scenes sketches, this Yuletide offering is the perfect way to join G.A.S.P. (Gathering of Awesome Super Pals) in celebrating the spirit of the season.
