Amelia's Notebooks: Difference between revisions

 

The series follows the everyday events in the life of Amelia, an ordinary girl living in the Pacific northwest. The series opened with Amelia learning how to adjust to moving to a new state. Later books center around other problems that most girls eventually have to deal with, such as crushes, making the jump to middle school, gossip, and babysitting.

Not to be confused with [[Amelia Bedelia]].

 

* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]

* [[All There in the Manual]]: It is mentioned in ''Amelia Tells All'' that her mom's name is Patience. That is the only place where her mother's name is mentioned.

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Maxine in ''Amelia's Book of Notes and Note Passing''

** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: The books are supposed to be Amelia's diaries; it makes sense her art would improve as she got older.

* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Amelia and Carly in the camp notebook. Well, more like Betty and Betty. Amelia is definitely a Betty, but Carly is too kind to be a Veronica.

* [[School Newspaper Newshound]]: Carly is a good one.

* [[Sequel Hook]]: The last line of the first book.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: Amelia sees Gigi and Cleo's friendship as this.

* [[Only One Name]]: What's Amelia's last name? No one knows.

* [[The Unfavorite]]: Cleo in the Amelia-Mom-Cleo family, as Amelia drives Mom less crazy. However, the tables are turned in the Clara-Dad-Amelia-Cleo-George family, where ''Amelia'', while certainly loved by her father, goes unnoticed.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: There is some evidence that suggests that Amelia is not above exaggerating things, given that we only see her life through her notebooks. One such example is whenever Cleo's bedroom cleanliness or her table manners are brought up. It is honestly difficult to believe that Cleo would have boyfriends or even friends with table manners that bad. They can't be that bad in real life.

* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: ''Amelia's Book of Notes and Note Passing'' is this to [[Othello]]. [[Sassy Black Woman|Car]][[Black Best Friend|ly]] is [[Scary Black Man|Othello]], [[Alpha Bitch|Maxine]] is [[Magnificent Bastard|Iago]], and [[The Ingenue|Amelia]] is [[Unwitting Pawn|Desdemona]]. Amelia even lampshades it when she begins to read the play in English class:
