Amelia McBride may be growing up, but she's feeling down. If there's one theme to her life, it's that nothing lasts: not her parents' marriage, not Aunt Tanner's support, not the clubhouse for the Gathering of Awesome Super Pals (G.A.S.P.), not even her new spot on the stupid cheerleading squad. And while she's learning all kinds of things about foot fungus, cheerwitches, and Reggie--who thinks Rhonda is CUTE?!--there's still one thing Amelia can't figure out, and that's the meaning of life. It takes a grownup sort of tragedy for Amelia and her friends to realize that even when the world is scary, and life is as mystifying as ever, some things--like friendship--do last. In Jimmy Gownley's touching seventh installment of Amelia Rules!, Amelia may not find all the answers--but she does know how to ask the right questions. Who needs answers, anyway?

As fourth grade comes to an end, Reggie, Rhonda, and Amelia let their imaginations soar.

After the funeral of a great-aunt she never met, Amelia McBride is pressured into joining a game of spin-the-bottle with "the ninjas," who turn out to be the sons of Aunt Tanner's childhood enemy, Julie.

After a shared homework assignment goes awry, Rhonda and Amelia figure out why they are always fighting, while "superhero" Reggie and "ninja" Kyle try to become archenemies.

When Amelia's mother inherits her aunt's house across town, Amelia imagines her life changing in devastating ways, beginning with having to leave her group of friends and join the ninjas.

When Amelia and her friends tag along on Aunt Tanner's business trip to New York City, Amelia gets to visit with her father and best friend, Sunday Jones, and learns a lesson about home.

Determined to conquer the ninjas and drive them out of a park, Reggie begins a campaign to recruit more members to the superhero club, G.A.S.P., which Amelia suspects is a bad idea.
