Welcome to Amelia's world. It's a world filled with best friends disguised as superheroes, nemeses in the form of wild haired little girls, way cool-rocker-guitar-playing aunts, and semi-depressed parents that have just gotten divorced. It's a crazy world she lives in, but, all in all, it's not bad. Yes, she was taken out of the only home she had ever known in Manhattan to live in a small rural community in a smallish house with her Aunt Tanner. Yes, she had to make all new friends and prove herself all over again in a new school. Yes, it may seem incredibly unfair, and she's done her share of whining, moaning, groaning, wallowing, and grumbling. But when the day is through, Amelia knows she's got it pretty good. She's got two parents that love her, even though they are hundreds of miles apart. She's got a way-cool-rocker-guitar-playing aunt, and she's got three new best friends (well, make that one new best friend, a mysterious non-talking friend, and a nemesis.) In this action packed adventure you'll get to meet Amelia and all of her friends and go on some pretty imaginative rides.

Meet Amelia and her crazy friends and family:

• Amelia: The heroine of our story, every moaning, groaning, whining, growling, wallowing bit of her. She's pretty cool though, really.
• Mrs. McBride (a.k.a. Mom): Amelia's divorced mom is trying to get her life back together, all the while juggling a new job, living with a way cool-rocker-guitar-playing sister, and raising a moaning, groaning, whining, growling, wallowing, but overall very sweet, child.
• Aunt Tanner: Way cool-rocker-guitar-playing aunt and confidant/conscience of the moaning, groaning, whining, growling, wallowing, but overall good niece Amelia.
• Reggie: Amelia's new best friend. He's really a superhero in disguise and the valiant leader of G.A.S.P. (Gathering of Awesome Super Pals).
• Pajamaman: Amelia's other new friend. He's a little, well...uhmm...weird. He wears his pajamas all the time and doesn't speak-at all. Cute kid though.
• Rhonda: Nemesis. She has a crush on Reggie and, all in all, is a member in good standing of G.A.S.P.
