Amelia's middle-school notebook includes fourteen New Year's resolutions (e.g., "find new ways to have fun in the snow" and "make Valentine's Day a fun holiday"). Everygirl self-improvement is mingled with vignettes of events Amelia remembers from the previous year. Through hand-lettered first-person accounts and minute cartoon drawings in the margins of her notebook, Amelia's creative but unassuming sixth-grade nature shines through.
