“Amelia’s 5th Grade Notebook,” by Marissa Moss is a notebook that Amelia has kept for a year writing about days that she hopes will be good instead of bad. She writes about each season and what she likes and dislikes about each one. What she loves about spring is flowers blooming but what she hates is mowing. Amelia writes in her journal about her experience about babysitting in December twins. “I could hear the twins screaming- definitely not a good sign,” says Amelia. In the end, her year has turned out for better than worse and she can’t wait to see what next year will have in store for her.
The cover of the book is in realistic notebook form with little illustrations to describe the seasons. The inside has all of her entries and drawings to describe her adventures. In the back has her layout of useful information for measuring.
I liked it because it was a fun book to read and then look at all of the little illustrations with funny side notes. It is a very busy book so I would enjoy reading a few entries a day, not all at once so I can read all of her notes.

I like this book because i can relate to Amelia because this book is all about when she's in fifth
grade and i feel that what happens to Amelia will might happen to me as well. I feel like the book is some really good advise and that you can get some really good experience from the book if your in fifth grade because the book has really good advise and you might want to rob some advise . wouldn't you ;). I would because i want to be really good at it

It was awesome!!!I love how the adventures are titled. Like jump for joy is typed with ropes. the pictures are really good and i like how she dates her entries. I also like the cover with four seasons, winter, spring, summer, and fall!

I enjoyed the other ones in her series more. Maybe because these were originally separate stories? I'm not sure. I don't know. *shrugs* This one was only okay for me. Probably going to pass this book along to somehow who can love it better than I.

Fun book. A year in the life of a 5th grade girl told in a diary like format with pictures she "drew" herself. Similar to others in this new found genre.

It was one of the best books I have ever read

One of my favorite of the Amelia series, I love that this notebook is structured around the four seasons starting with the beginning of the school year. Reading it as an adult is compelling and nostalgic - add onto that, I am currently finishing my first school year as faculty not student, making it even more poignant. I don't want to say that my students are ungrateful and unaware of the passing of time, because I know how big emotions can be for kids and how hard it is for them to express how they feel about endings and loss. But I do want more of them to check out books from Amelia, who feels (even after all this time) like a friend.

This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. It was a fun time re-reading it this year.

Not the most memorable book for me but I forgot to catalog it on goodreads before so, I’m doing that now. Fun that it takes you through the seasons. I haven’t been in the 5th grade in a long time I think I would enjoy the books more when Amelia is older better than this one. It really is very cute I liked the valentines bit and the summer section since it’s summertime now when I’m reading it. Also, I like the style of the whole book written like a diary. 3 starssss 🌠

I kind of liked this book but not that much because it doesn't have enough pages to read but if you are a person that likes to write in your diary and express yourself or your feelings than this is the right book for you and theres this girl that she likes to write in her diary because she express herself in her diary
