What Makes You Happy (Amelia Rules!)

This second volume of Amelia stories is as delightful as the first. Amelia is a spunky, emotional, passionate 4th-grader; she is a modern-day "Lucy" from the Peanuts. Jimmy Gownley writes, draws, and inks the stories single-handedly. My fourth-grade girl loves this series. She identifies with the issues that touch a young girl, such as dealing with quarrels, the first kiss, and the strange world of grown-ups.I love this series for the attention to detail, wonderful artwork and interesting jokes that appeal to adults. These jokes are funny for adults, but they are not double-entendres that try to titillate like many modern animated features. The book is very high-quality, printed on good paper and with beautiful ink.Well done, Mr. Gownley! We look forward to Volume 3.

"Amelia Rules" is a big book of comic happiness. Though the readers that match the lead character's situation may gravitate to this series faster, anyone who likes quality all ages comics (Bone, Peanuts, Akiko, etc) will love this book.

We got all the books. We love that series. The author does not talk down to kids.

My 9 year old loves all of the Amelia Rules graphic novelsPrompt shipping, item as described.

Great comic for girls.

FYI You should be aware of some of the jokes in this book are not appropriate for children. This is adult humor. You don't crack jokes about a guy telling a woman "in your next video you shouldn't wear clothes". I am paraphrasing (so don't jump on my case). Why would you tell kids that? I think the humor is funny if are older, but not for young kids.

Last time I checked, I bought a new hardcover one, and when I got it today, some pages were on the verge of falling apart. Uh… care to explain the somewhat subpar quality of the book?

Exactly as advertised. Great story

Excellent quality
