Continuing the work of his Aunt Peggy—who created Amelia Bedelia six decades ago—Herman Parish goes back to the literal-minded housekeeper's early years, depicting her as a high-spirited girl with a knack for comic misunderstandings. In these eight chapter books for readers 8 to 12, Amelia goes sailing, takes a road trip, sets up a clubhouse, and earns money for a bike. Lynne Avril's jaunty illustrations appear throughout the series, and this boxed set includes a bookmark and a doorknob hanger to let everyone know that you are currently busy reading!
