Perfect for you if...

You're looking for a book that makes children laugh out loud without relying on mean-spirited humour or crude jokes.
You want a story where the protagonist solves problems through kindness and creativity rather than being the smartest person in the room.
You appreciate books that work equally well as read-alouds or independent reads for children aged 6 to 10.

Maybe not for you if...

You're seeking complex character development or multi-layered plots. These are straightforward, lighthearted tales.
You prefer stories where characters learn harsh lessons through consequences. Amelia Bedelia usually gets rewarded for her oddball approach.
You want books that challenge your child to think critically about language. The humour relies on taking phrases literally, which is the point.

About this book

In the eleventh book of the series, Amelia Bedelia is sent to summer camp by her mother—the same all-girls camp her mother attended as a girl. The camp is in poor condition and struggles to compete with a modern computer camp across the lake. Amelia Bedelia's literal interpretations of instructions lead to comical misunderstandings that become adventures as she works to make the summer memorable. The Amelia Bedelia chapter books follow the character as a young girl and present humorous stories about family and friendship suitable for read-alouds and beginning readers. The series has sold over 35 million copies since the character's introduction in 1963.
