    About this ebook

    In the ninth chapter book in the New York Times–bestselling series, Amelia Bedelia and her friends at school explore different jobs and careers and think about what they want to be when they grow up! Amelia Bedelia is especially curious about her own father’s line of work. If he spends the day pitching to a client, does that mean he plays a lot of baseball?

    The Amelia Bedelia chapter books star Amelia Bedelia as a young girl and feature funny family and friendship stories just right for fans of Judy Moody and Ivy + Bean. The Amelia Bedelia books have sold more than 35 million copies since we first met the iconic character in 1963!

    About the Publisher

    Amelia Bedelia was upset. She was very upset. What made it even worse was that it was recess. Recess was usually her favorite thing about school! She loved playing on the playground and running around and hanging out with her friends.

    Gotcha! yelled Clay as he tagged Amelia Bedelia on her back.

    Amelia Bedelia jumped straight up in the air. She had been worrying so much, she had forgotten they were in the middle of a game of tag.

    You’re it, said Clay, running away.

    Instead of chasing everyone, Amelia Bedelia just stood there and burst into tears.

    I barely touched her, said Clay.

    I’m okay, said Amelia Bedelia.

    You don’t sound okay, said Daisy. What’s wrong?

    Amelia Bedelia took a deep breath. You know how Mrs. Shauk told us that we’re going to start studying jobs and careers and what we want to do when we grow up? she asked.

    Yeah, said Cliff. Sounds like fun, for a change.

    Not to me, said Amelia Bedelia. I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.

    That’s okay, said Holly. Neither do I.

    Everyone nodded, agreeing with Holly.

    Yeah, said Heather. "You don’t have to decide today what you’re going to be. You have your whole life to figure that out."

    I guess so, said Amelia Bedelia, frowning. Do you guys know what your parents do? I have no idea what my dad does.
