Fourth Riot Brothers book. In this installment cousin Amelia comes to visit and brings her own version of mayhem. Together they solve a mystery, find a lost mummy, and have fun at a homemade water park. There is a laugh on every page.
Wilbur and Orville Riot learn that their cousin Amelia will be staying with them for three days. They expect absolute boredom. After all, what does a girl know about fun? What a surprise! She fits right into the general mayhem, whether tracking down a mummy or creating their own water park. Amelia even creates some mayhem of her own. This is the fourth Riot Brothers book.
The cartoon style illustrations add to the humor. There is a bonus section of directions to the games mentioned in the text, the songs the crew sings, and some of their rules.
The type is large, helping make it an easy read. This will attract reluctant boys and anyone who wants a rollicking fun adventure. JT
