[...] Amelia Rules! by Jimmy Gownley. This one will, in general, be of less interest to the adult reader (unless you genuinely enjoy kids’ books, which some of us do). The stories are funny and touching, the characters flawed and realistic. Gownley really has his finger on the emotional pulse of childhood, the pain as well as the fun, and how difficult it can be to make sense of the adults around you. Johanna has a useful review, as usual. [...]

[...] I have previously reviewed the first book, The Whole World’s Crazy. There’s an additional six-issue storyline (not yet collected) called “Superheroes”, about the possibility of Amelia’s family moving away from her friends. It introduces new groups of characters, including a young girl who dreams of telling her stories as a writer. For Free Comic Book Day 2005, a zero issue was released, with the story of how the gang first met. [...]

She read it until it disintegrated.
