Plot: Amelia has had many different adventures and in the last book in her series, she is working on becoming the best cheerleader at Joe Mccarthy Elementary. She wants to make the best superhero group ever as well. Her Aunt Tanner is famous and everyone wants to be like her, but Aunt Tanner disappears after a book comes out releasing embarrassing information. Amelia decides she must find her aunt and make things right in the world. Can she do it?

Review: This book is full of color, action and has an interesting plotline. Having not read the others in the series, I felt a little lost as the reader. It would be best to start from the beginning of the series to gather the background information on Amelia and her life. For reluctant readers, this would be a good place to start. Graphic novels draw in students differently than other books. They can be a great starting point and lead into traditional novels.
