In the seventh book in the New York Times-bestselling chapter book

Bedelia comes out of her shell and heads to the beach! Includes a guide

throughout. The Amelia Bedelia books have sold more than 35 million

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!
Short, fast-paced chapters, tons of friends and funny situations, and
black-and-white illustrations on every page make the Amelia Bedelia
chapter books an ideal choice for readers of the Ivy + Bean, Magic Tree
House, and Judy Moody books.
