Amelia tackles being the new kid in a small town in the first book of the hilarious and heartwarming Eisner and Harvey Award–nominated middle grade graphic novel series—now with a brand-new look!

Meet Amelia Louise McBride! She’s a nine-year-old former New Yorker who just moved to a small town with her mum after her parents’ divorce. Being the new kid in school can be tough, but she’s got her mum and Aunt Tanner (who happens to be an ex-rock star), and even some new friends!

Together, Amelia, Reggie, Rhonda, and Pajamaman take on bullies (and Santa!), barely survive gym class, and receive a disgustingly detailed explanation of the infamous Sneeze Barf!

This relatable and hilarious book combines graphic novel artwork and traditional comic strip styles for a dynamic reading experience.
