Book #28 in the Amelia series
Eighth grade brings unexpected feelings for Amelia. Will she risk asking a boy to the dance?
Eighth grade is here, and Amelia faces a new challenge: boys. While her friends are boy-crazy, Amelia never cared—until Gerald enters her class. Now, she wonders if she should ask him to the dance. But fear of rejection looms. Can Amelia muster the courage to take a chance on a crush, or will she let fear hold her back? Join Amelia as she navigates the thrilling and nerve-wracking world of first crushes and school dances, discovering if the potential joy outweighs the risk of a broken heart.
Crush alert! Boys enter the picture in this thirteenth book of the bestselling and perennially popular Amelia series. Amelia can’t believe eighth grade is finally here! She knows this will be the most exciting year yet for her and her best friend, Carly. But a lot of the other girls are thinking about one thing, and one thing only: boys. Amelia has never wanted a boyfriend. Crushes are for the silly girls who are always fixing their hair and thinking about shopping and what to wear next…right? But when a nice boy named Gerald appears in her class, Amelia thinks she might like to go to the school dance with him. It would be fun to have someone to dance with–but can she work up the nerve to ask him? What if he says no? Is the possible reward worth the risk? There’s only one way to find out… Once again, Marissa Moss tells a tale of wisdom gained in the humorous and human way that has earned her millions of loyal readers.
