The Whole World's Crazy / Jimy Gownley / 168 pages / Frist Book in a Series

Amelia Rules #1
Amelia says her parents are crazy (recently divorced), her friends are crazy (Reggie has a secret identity).  Everybody is crazy but her.  She's normal.  At least she thinks she is.  Reggie Grabinsky has organized his friends to for GASP - Gathering Of Awesome Super Pals - Captain Amazing, Kid Lightning, Princess Powerful, and Ms. Miraculous (The Mouth - poor Rhonda).  Amelia and her friends deal with bullies, difficult teachers, and T.R.A.M.P - Teaching Respect and Anger Management in Preteens.  I'm not sure that I could recommend this book for fourth graders - the age of the characters, but I definitely laughed out loud several times, despite a few questionable frames.
