Amelia Rules! #[nn]

Jimmy Gownley's *Amelia Rules! When the Past is a Present* captures everything that makes this series so warmly appealing — the cover shows young Amelia with her red bow seated on a cozy living-room couch alongside her aunt and an older teen girl, while a masked superhero figure looms dramatically outside the moonlit window behind them. It's a perfect snapshot of the series' blend of everyday family life and imaginative adventure that earned its New York Magazine praise of "wonderful…funny, and touching." With an introduction by television writer David Fury (Buffy, Lost, Angel, 24), this 2008 collection is a genuinely inviting read for kids and adults alike.
