Review
Illustrations are gouache and black pencil. Amelia wants to go on an adventure with her friends. They take to their bikes and find an empty lot that has a huge tree just perfect for a club house. It also has lots of stray cats, only the cats really aren't strays. The lot goes up for sale and many different people want it for different purposes. The girls want to buy the lot they helped to clean up and even if they all work for a whole year they still won't have enough money.
The end of the book has two pages called, "Two Ways to Sat It". This is a figurative language section with quotes and pictures used from the story and what the quote really means. Example: It's an eyesore" written over picture, and "It's really ugly" written underneath.
Overall Book Score: good
