Charisse, the new girl in class, seems like the coolest person Amelia's met in a long time. She's just so glamorous and sophisticated, with her perfect blonde hair, shimmery earrings and shiny pink lip gloss. Soon Amelia decides that she wants to be perfect too! She starts applying nail varnish, practising her facial expressions in front of the mirror, trying out new accents...it's all part of the transformation. But her friends aren't so convinced by the 'All New Amelia', and eventually help her to realise that the old Amelia wasn't so bad in the first place!
