Her problem is, she's the only girl in her family of 7 boys anmf shje's also the only girl in her town! She's always wanted a sister because she doesn't have any friends and she doesn't fir in well. She also doesn't have a good relationship with her dad. She she feels she won't be an outsider if there was someone else that she could play with another girl.

Summary: Our Only May Amelia
Review: This book tells the story of a twelve year old girl named May Amelia. She is the only girl ever born in the town of Nasel,where she lives. The story portrays May Amelia's many exiting adventures on the Nasel River, her life with seven older brothers, and the pressure on her to be a "proper young lady". I realy enjoyed reading this book. It was very exiting to read about May Amelia's adventures and the trouble she gets herself into. She has a close encounter with a grizzly bear and is shot at by her crazy neighbor. The best part of this book was that you could realy sense how the charactors feel. The author does a good job of putting you in the charactors shoes and you can feel their emotions.

Summary: Absolutely great book!
Review: This was an ideal book for my little sister. She needed a book with strong heroine much like herself. She is a tomboy and really related to the character in this book. She was excited to read it and devoured it quickly. It was so wonderful to see her so into a book for a change. I highly recommend this book! Just a quick thank you to the author for such a good book.

Summary: May Amelia Jackson.. a miracle and a delight
Review: Poor May Amelia Jackson is the only girl in her family. That means putting up with seven brothers,and being told, "You can't do this, you're a girl.". Her father is no help, in fact, she isn't sure he even likes her. He is forever scolding her, and expressing his disappointment in her behavior. May Amelia's mother is plumb worn out with the new baby on the way, and depends on May to help even more around the house. May Amelia is even more determined to do the things she enjoys, and to find her place among the boisterous Jackson clan. This is a delightful historical-based story of one young girl's attempt to find the path right for her. Based on thr discovered diary of her grandaunt, Jennifer Holm crafts a sweet tale of a young girl's coming of age in the newly settled timber country of thr rugged Northwest.

Summary: Interesting Characters & Exciting Story
Review: The novel Our Only May Amelia was written by Jennifer L. Holm, the grandniece of the main character May Amelia Holm, who happened to be the ONLY girl ever born in the Nasel River settlement. Her diary was discovered few years ago, and that was what inspired Jennifer Holm to write her book based on the life of her grandaunt. May Amelia, the main character of the novel was born in the nineteenth century as the youngest sibling after seven older brothers, near the Nasel River in Finland. She was a miracle when she was born, being the only girl ever born in the new settlement. May Amelia Jackson might have been a miracle, but she just couldn't behave like a proper young lady because of her love for adventures. Even though her family wanted her to a lady, she hated to be left out when there was an exciting adventure lying ahead of her. It was very hard being a girl all alone, and May believes that she could manage everything better if there was at least one more girl in the settlement. I liked the book a lot because it told about so many thrilling adventures May Amelia had as a young girl with her seven brothers. It was very interesting that there could be such adventures waiting for a girl like me.
