Publisher Description: Do you know there's no true opposite to the word "catastrophe"? Amelia McBride and company are about to embark on their most daunting mission yet: navigating the promises and pitfalls of popularity at Joe McCarthy Elementary. A tricky task when you consider an unmatched pair of socks alone can cause ridicule for years to come. Really, though, all the gang wants is not to be unpopular. Rising and falling through the ranks of nerd, geek--and cheerleader?--with advice from wacky popularity expert Dr. Victoria Medeochrias, Amelia and her friends encounter riotous mobs, unfortunate makeovers, and bad catch phrases. Even after things go from bad to worse, Amelia learns there are some things that are just a little bit more important than being popular. In his first brand new volume in two years, Jimmy Gownley dishes up another hilariously satisfying dose of Amelia Rules , in what Comics Buyer's Guide has called "a timeless manner to which readers young and old can easily relate." |
