Amelia Bedelia Makes a Splash

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.
