What was the name of this children's story book that looked like a mead composition notebook?

the story was about a girl who was traveling on this roadtrip with her feeling and in this composition book she glued in her souvenirs, etc in them. This has been killing me and my friends for FOREVER! This book was sold at one of those scholastic book fairs.

What was the name of this children's story book that looked like a mead composition notebook?
"Amelia's Notebook" by Marissa Moss


http://www.amazon.com/Amelias-Notebook-A...


"...upbeat, first-person story to resemble a real diary; the cover bears the familiar black-and-white abstract design of a composition book, decorated with color cartoons by Amelia, the book's nine-year-old "author." Inside, on lined pages, Amelia writes about her recent move to a new town, doodles pictures of people she meets and saves such mementos as postage stamps and a birthday candle. She misses her best friend, Nadia, but her moments of sadness are balanced by optimism-she distracts herself by drawing and by writing short stories. In appropriately conversational terms, Amelia complains that her big sister invades her privacy ("So Cleo if you are reading this right now-BUG OFF and STAY OUT"); gripes about cafeteria food ("Henna says they use dog food. I believe it!"); and jokes in classic elementary-school gross-out fashion."
