Grade 5-7–In this sequel to Amalee (Scholastic, 2004), a class assignment leaves the 12-year-old with the desire to make a movie, one with creativity, clarity, and integrity, as her teacher encourages. She does just that with a lot of lifes ups and downs along the way. The girls maternal grandmother requests a first-time visit with her, and she learns a bit more of her estranged relationship with Sally, Amalees deceased mother, whom her father and his friends are reluctant to talk about. It is a short, yet powerful visit, one that brings Amalee an inheritance of more than $2000 in coins, making her documentary-making venture possible. She wants to learn more about her mother, just as she wants to learn more about filmmaking and about her chosen topic: endangered species. Such learning occurs as she makes contacts at the New England Aquarium and Museum of Natural History in New York City and does other research. Through the process, she grows in many ways. Amalees newfound filmmaking skills coincide with her emerging life skills, evident throughout in this very satisfying story.–Tracy Karbel, Chicago Public Library System, East Vodak Branch
