Amelia Unabridged by Ashley Schumacher
4.0

Amelia Unabridged is a beautiful book about friendship and loss, about grief, about finding one’s way, and it is an homage to the magic of books and the power of reading. It’s set in a bookstore that any reader would love to visit, and it draw readers right along on the adventure that Amelia has lived over and over while reading the Orman books. Any of us who have been transported through the wardrobe into Narnia or via Platform 9 ¾ to the world of Harry Potter will know right away how Amelia feels. The setting is a paean to books and the story is a poignant one about love and friendship. My only quibble is that a lot of the time it reads more like a middle-grade book with the simplicity and style of the writing, though its main characters are 18 and 19. But I really enjoyed it anyway and loved especially that it’s clean reading. I can therefore heartily recommend it to anyone.
