Amelia McBride is going to her first dance - with a boy, no less! - but she's not the only one with a date. Is Amelia's mom seeing someone too? Perhaps Reggie - aka Captain Amazing - can shed some light on the situation. But it's not all fun for the 10-year-old spitfire. A good friend reveals that her father will be sent to a dangerous country with his job in the military, and Amelia begins thinking of her own family, her past, and what both means for her present.
