Amelia is back to share the most unforgettable embarrassing field trip where her weird, annoying, and horrible big sister, Cleo, is the chaperone! What could be worse?

When Mrs. O'Neill announces the 6th Grade Field Trip to the Nature Preserve, Amelia thinks middle school is the best! Then she discovers that her sister, Cleo, is going too. Talk about embarrassing! Amelia tries to miss the bus and pretends to be sick but neither plan works. So off to nature with Cleo and the entire 6th grade. Could this trip show Amelia a new side of Cleo that isn't as bad as she thought? Does Cleo even have another side? How will Amelia ever survive the embarrassment of it all?

School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-5-When Amelia goes on a three-day field trip with her class, the possibilities for embarrassment loom large in her mind. Dressing in front of others and wearing the "wrong" kind of pajamas and slippers ("The combination you pick says a lot about who you are!") are just some of her concerns; never mind the presence of her older sister who is participating as a teaching aide ("I almost choked on my macaroni! Cleo working with my class? That's my worst nightmare!"). The format-hand-written journal entries on lined paper under topics such as "Amelia's Embarrassing Moments Hall of Fame" and "The Pajama Game"-allow the girl's perceptive voice to be heard, and since this is her story, she is the only developed character. Childlike cartoon drawings and many comedic captions extend the humor. Fortunately, Cleo encourages some group sharing of embarrassing moments and the ensuing revelations enable Amelia to realize that not only can she survive her humiliations, but that she also doesn't need to take responsibility for her sister's behavior. A multiethnic cast of characters helps promote the realization that all children suffer from similar concerns and doubts.

Horn Book Review

Amelia deals with switching classes and a mean teacher as she starts middle school, and copes with the embarrassment of having her sister along on an overnight science field trip. The hand-lettered notebooks feature sixth-grade-style cartoon vignettes of people and events in Amelia's life, along with entertaining sidebars of things that strike her fancy, all in a pitch-perfect sixth-grade voice.
