There simply aren't enough good words in the English language to describe this book. It's been compared to Peanuts more times than I can count, and if you're just looking at the cuteness of it, I can understand that--it does have a moderately Peanutsy look. But where this story really shines is in
Superheroes, the third Amelia Rules collection, is probably the most emotional by far. Watching her moving away from her friends, coping with a new friend moving away, a bike accident on a scary road, and the projections of what happens to Amelia as she grows up are by turns heartbreaking and hopeful.

the emotional content. Gownley's biggest strength is his ability to portray situations with all the gravity they have to a 10-year-old.

I've been enjoying this series a lot. The Miracleman parody was quite funny.
