OK, no, this review is not about how awesome I am for coming back to you guys. (Or is it? No, it's not.) This is an actual comic series! Jimmy Gownley's Amelia Rules! is a funny and cute series all about fourth-grader Amelia McBride. After her parents' divorce, Amelia and her mom move in with her aunt Tanner--a retired rock star. She gets taken in by a ragtag group who call themselves G.A.S.P (Gathering of Awesome Super Pals), and craziness ensues. Aside from getting into hilarious situations and bantering with her friends, Amelia is learning and growing throughout the series, and it's great to see that in a comic for kids. As Gownley says, 'Amelia would not be about childhood, it would be about growing-up.' From dealing with divorced parents to boy troubles, Amelia pulls through it all. This is now one of my favorite graphic novel series'!
You can start with The Whole World's Gone Crazy, then What Makes You Happy, and so on! Hope you guys enjoy them!
