Amelia Rules! #3

In "Into Graceland," Amelia faces a sudden shift when her mom inherits a house across town, far from her friends and familiar school. Though a flash forward hints at a lonely future where friendships fade, the real story unfolds with surprising warmth—Tanner, who once opened her home to family, now returns the favor by moving in with Amelia, turning the new house into something unexpected and kind.

In "Old Friends Who Just Met," Amelia and Rhonda find themselves drawn into the imaginative world of their new neighbors, where Trishia’s zine and her tale of Princess Trishara spark unexpected fascination. Meanwhile, Reggie and Pajamaman launch an earnest, wildly exaggerated mission to thwart a secret menace: a conspiracy of Steves.

In "My Novel's Gonna Need an Evil Villain," Jo and her friends dive into a game of make-believe, casting Reggie as a villainous Steve to fuel their story. When Trishia’s dad unexpectedly shows up and pulls her away, the mood shifts—leaving Amelia wondering what comes next, and the game forever changed.

When Trishia’s parents explain their overprotectiveness stems from a past tragedy, Amelia is struck by the weight of their fears—yet still looks forward to a carefree sleepover. On a silly dare, she pedals into the woods at night, only to wake up disoriented and alone, the quiet forest suddenly feeling far less safe than she’d imagined.

In "Against Unbelievable Odds," Amelia finds herself caught in a vivid fantasy where she imagines herself as Princess Powerful, rallying to save her friend Princess Trishara during a moment of crisis. Years later, after a long silence, Amelia receives a heartfelt letter from Trishara—now facing her own battles—revealing how she fought with courage, using nothing but her own will and a pencil, to keep going.
