Amelia Bedelia comes out of her shell and heads to the beach!
Amelia Bedelia and her mother share a summer vacation home at the shore with her aunt Mary (her mother's sister) and her cousin Jason, who has a wicked sense of adventure and a nose for trouble. With a local girl named Pearl as guide, the cousins build sand castles, swim and body surf, and learn how to sail. As much fun as their nautical adventures are, the lives of this trio get way more exciting when they stumble upon pirates!
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.

Amelia Bedelia is a well-intentioned girl who believes things mean—well, exactly what they say. If she hears something costs “an arm and a leg” she thinks she’s going to have to pay with her limbs!
Young Amelia’s literal interpretation of common phrases makes for a lot of misunderstandings—and some trouble! But her resilience and persistence shine through in all her humorous and muddled adventures.
Have you ever noticed just how many of these odd sayings there are? Amelia Bedelia’s experiences will have you noting them down!
Short, fast-paced chapters, tons of friends, silly situations, and funny wordplay and misunderstandings make the Amelia Bedelia chapter books an ideal choice for readers of the Ivy and Bean, Magic Tree House, and Judy Moody books. These books are great for building vocabulary, and feature a guide to some of the idioms and expressions introduced in the story, as well as black-and-white pictures by Lynne Avril on every page.
