Amelia's witty words and doodles will make girls laugh while giving them a lighthearted look into what kind of people they are. Four fold-up fortune tellers are also included for kids to tear out and use with their friends. What does the future hold? Only good things, when you're spending time with Amelia!

The spring list of American Girl Library titles boasts fun things to do for girls ages eight and up. In Marissa Moss's Madame Amelia Tells All, the now-familiar marbleized notebook opens to reveal secrets of fortune-telling, including how to do palm readings and foot readings, and four tear-out "fortune-tellers" (aka cootie catchers) that reveal such things as career choices and character strengths.

Gr 3-5-A tongue-in-cheek compilation of fortune-telling quizzes and games, including foot reading, handwriting analysis, and crystal balls. The book offers the same sense of good, clean fun as the other "Amelia" titles, and has the same format, which resembles a composition book scribbled with colorful doodles. The text looks like hurriedly written, secretly passed notes, which is sure to make it instantly appealing to the intended audience. Be aware, however, that readers are directed to copy or cut out a "good luck doll" and to tear out the last four pages of the book, which contain "fold-up fortune-teller games."-Leslie S.
