When Amelia’s mom gives her a journal for her birthday, she finally has a place to share her truest feelings at last! Nine-year-old Amelia’s mother gives her a blank notebook to write down her thoughts and tells her it will make her feel better. Why would a dumb notebook make me feel better, Amelia thinks. The only thing that will make Amelia feel better is going back to old house, her old school, and her old friends. Amelia does not—do you hear this!—want to move. But no one is listening to Amelia.

The hand-lettered contents of a nine-year-old girl's notebook, in which she records her thoughts and feelings about notes and freindship.

Amelia is back to share the most unforgettable embarrassing field trip where her weird, annoying, and horrible big sister, Cleo, is the chaperone! What could be worse? When Mrs. O’Neill announces the 6th Grade Field Trip to the Nature Preserve, Amelia thinks middle school is the best! Then she discovers that her sister, Cleo, is going too. Talk about embarrassing! Amelia tries to miss the bus and pretends to be sick but neither plan works. So off to nature with Cleo and the entire 6th grade. Could this trip show Amelia a new side of Cleo that isn’t as bad as she thought? Does Cleo even have another side? How will Amelia ever survive the embarrassment of it all?

Though she is excited about graduating from middle school, Amelia is sad that her best friend Carly won't be joining her in high school, so she reminisces about her earlier years and notebooks.

Can Amelia keep a friend and her deepest secrets at the same time? Amelia’s sister, Cleo, gives her a new notebook as a tenth birthday present, and Amelia can’t wait to fill it with all her secret thoughts and drawings. But when her best friend Leah wants to read her notebook, Amelia is torn: Sometimes secrets are better when shared with friends, but other secrets are private. How can Amelia keep her friend from feeling left out while still saving some secrets for herself?

Amelia stands up for her herself—and against the class bully—in this series favorite. Amelia is not about to let the class bully get the best of her—that’s just not Amelia’s way! But Amelia can’t help feeling defenseless against mean-girl Hilary, who seems to have one nasty thing to say after another. But when Amelia attends camp, she gains the confidence she needs to speak up. In her honest and engaging way, Amelia describes what it is like to get tough and stand up for yourself!

A set of books based on the Amelia Series by Marissa Moss.

The author writes, Kids and teachers often ask me how they can make a notebook like Amelia's. It's easy and it's fun. And to make it even easier, this new notebook shows how Amelia gets ideas about characters, stories, poems and whatever she feels about writing. Not just a blank book, My Notebook is filled with dozens of suggestions, quips and asides to start kids off on their own unique book.

Charisse, the new girl in class, seems like the coolest person Amelia's met in a long time. She's just so glamorous and sophisticated, with her perfect blonde hair, shimmery earrings and shiny pink lip gloss. Soon Amelia decides that she wants to be perfect too! She starts applying nail varnish, practising her facial expressions in front of the mirror, trying out new accents... it's all part of the transformation. But her friends aren't so convinced by the 'All New Amelia', and eventually help her to realise that the old Amelia wasn't so bad in the first place!
