Items related to The Movie Version
A whip-smart, heart-wrenching debut YA novel about first love, first loss, and filmmaking that will delight fans of Jandy Nelson and Jennifer Niven
In the movie version of Amelia’s life, the roles have always been clear. Her older brother, Toby: definitely the Star. As popular with the stoners as he is with the cheerleaders, Toby is someone you’d pay ten bucks to watch sweep Battle of the Bands and build a “beach party” in the bathroom. As for Amelia? She’s Toby Anderson’s Younger Sister. She’s perfectly happy to watch Toby’s hijinks from the sidelines, when she’s not engrossed in one of her elaborately themed Netflix movie marathons.
But recently Toby’s been acting in a very non-movie-version way. He’s stopped hanging out with his horde of friends and started obsessively journaling and disappearing for days at a time. Amelia doesn’t know what’s happened to her awesome older brother, or who this strange actor is that’s taken his place. And there’s someone else pulling at her attention: a smart, cute new boyfriend who wants to know the real Amelia—not Toby’s Sidekick. Amelia feels adrift without her star, but to best help Toby—and herself—it might be time to cast a new role: Amelia Anderson, leading lady.

About the Author:
Emma Wunsch has written movie reviews for The Washington Free Press, worked in a used bookstore, taught college-level writing, and published short fiction and journalism in a variety of publications including The Best of Bellevue Literary Review. She lives in Lebanon, New Hampshire, with her husband and two daughters.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 9 Up—Amelia can't wait for her junior year of high school to start. Her brother Toby, a popular senior, will make the year awesome. There will be parties, friends, and movie marathons. Amelia can't wait to tell Toby she may have a boyfriend. Nothing happens the way she imagined. Her sibling hides in his room and spends his days smoking pot, writing in a notebook, reading "Lord of the Rings," and listening to the Beatles. Amelia covers for him when he skips classes and when he hallucinates after drinking. While this is happening at home, the protagonist is trying to deal with school and her first boyfriend and struggling in a world without Toby as the star. Toby's breaking point occurs in the cafeteria, and Amelia tries to come to terms with his diagnosis. When he is sent to a treatment center, Amelia has to learn what kind of person she can be without her brother. Told in the first person, this narrative about a complex sibling relationship will resonate with readers. There are references to teenage drinking, cigarettes and marijuana, and sex. The secondary characters are different and distinguishable, but Amelia and Toby take center stage. VERDICT Recommend to fans of realistic fiction that focuses on mental health issues.—Natalie Struecker, Atlantic Public Library, IA
