About This Book
Reach for this book when your child begins to realize that the adults they admire are fallible, or when they are navigating the messy intersection of loyalty and disappointment. It is an ideal choice for the 'tween' who is transitioning from a world of clear-cut rules to one where reputations and secrets complicate their relationships. This installment of the Amelia Rules series follows Amelia as she embarks on an impulsive road trip to find her beloved Aunt Tanner, who has gone into hiding after a public humiliation. Through a blend of humor and heart, the story explores how young people process the mistakes of their role models. It is a sophisticated but accessible look at emotional resilience and the realization that everyone, even the coolest adult, is a work in progress. While the themes of public scandal and family secrets are present, the tone remains grounded and age-appropriate for middle school readers.
