Description

When Suzanne, the new girl in Amelia Bedelia's class, arrives at school riding a beautiful bicycle, Amelia Bedelia decides she wants a new bike too. But her mom says a bike like Suzanne's is very expensive. Amelia Bedelia, misunderstanding the expression 'it will cost an arm and a leg,' worries about giving up her limbs. Determined to buy the bike herself, Amelia Bedelia tries various jobs including helping at a diner, opening a lemonade stand, entering a contest, and baking treats to sell. The story follows her adventures as she works towards her goal of buying the bicycle of her dreams.
