Marissa Moss - Ten-year-old Amelia draws pictures and writes about her daily life in the journal she receives for her birthday. Marissa Moss is the bestselling creator of the perennially popular Amelia series as well as the Daphne’s Daily Disasters series. With each reading, new discoveries are made. A good luck story, postcards, and notes to a friend fill the journal with adventure, nostalgia, whimsical thoughts, and imagination. Amid her sorrow and anger, she suggests that each student place a little treasure in the new cement as a memento of special school remembrances. And on pages bordered with yellow caution tape, she writes about the tragic fire at her school. Getting marshmallows to stick and stay on the ceiling without being caught by her mother is another of the recorded activities. Bored with her math homework, Amelia visualizes the numbers with distinct personalities. From the very beginning, readers are warned, "Do not turn any more pages or you will be struck down by the Mummy's curse!" Be brave and read on the curse is short lived. The engaging youngster proceeds to fill the pages with a variety of stories, personal commentary, and drawings. Grade 3-5?Amelia, first introduced in Amelia's Notebook (Tricycle, 1995), is at it again when she receives a new notebook for her 10th birthday.
