Books like Her permanent record by Jimmy Gownley
With her new spot on the cheerleading squad, Aunt Tanner's hoards of adoring fans, and Reggie's successful mission to mold young superheroes into productive members of society, Amelia's sailing is remarkably smooth. But when Tanner disappears, humiliated by an ex-boyfriend's tell-all book, Amelia goes into full panic mode. And when she boards a bus on an epic journey to find Tanner--with frenemy Rhonda in tow, and a little help from a certain boy she never thought she'd see again--it quickly becomes clear that if Amelia has learned anything in her eleven years, it's that life is never through with surprises. This is a lighthearted and humorous adventure story for young readers, perfect for fans of 'The Fault in Our Stars' and 'Wonder'.
