Ha!
Reggie, I hate to say this, but you're babbling. You're incoherent. You sound like you were written by Stan Lee.
For the curious, the source is Amelia Rules: The Whole World's Gone Crazy by Jimmy Gownley. My review:
Third-grader-to-be Amelia has just moved from New York City to a small town, along with her mom who has just split with her dad and must stay with her mom's younger, hipper sister. This first volume consists of five episodes from her first year, summer through Christmas, trying to figure out her new life with a new family situation and new friends. Gownley mixes realism, pathos, and humor remarkably well and conveys a lot with his cartoonish illustrations.
In the summer, Amelia finds a group of three friends while wandering the neighborhood--well, one friend, the girl who pines after him (and immediately becomes Amelia's arch-enemy), and his silent sidekick. The four become inseperable (despite constant insults and bickering and Amelia learning on the first day of school the three are the "nerd" group and she's now a nerd by association). They have a variety of adventures and sarcastic dialogue, and Amelia slowly learns more about each of them, her mom, her dad, and her aunt, and in the process learns more about herself.
