Amelia's Notebook 

by Marissa Moss

The hand-lettered contents of a nine-year-old girl's notebook, in which she records her thoughts and feelings about moving, starting school, and dealing with her older sister, as well as keeping her old best friend and making a new one.


I was a big fan of realistic fiction as an elementary school student, and this is a great one! The idea of a young girl keeping a diary with a hand-writing font was very appealing to me as a child. At the time, I thought this book was very cool, largely because of her side notes and drawings.
