It's the first day of summer vacation, and life is great—until the Riot Brothers find out their cousin is coming to visit
How can you complete secret missions and make exciting things happening when you have to drag around a guest? Luckily, it turns out Cousin Amelia is the kind of cousin they like—the fun kind! She's just as great at coming up with cool games and clever sayings as Orville and Wilbur, and she even travels with her very own (fake) pet snake. 
Riot Brother Rule #24 says, "Kids who are fun can become Riot Brothers, even if they aren't brothers," so obviously Amelia is in. Together, the trio takes on all-new adventures, from starting a robot car wash to finding a lost mummy to solving mysteries . . . like why the neighborhood bully is following them around wearing aftershave. 
This new hardcover edition features an updated paper over board cover (with shiny mummy bandages), plus all the new Games, Rules, and Songs—not to mention instructions on how to do the super-secret Riot Brothers handshake, so you can join in!

      Gr 2-5-Less scatological than Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" (Scholastic) but just as wacky, this fourth installment about Wilbur and Orville Riot is chock-full of goofy, good-natured fun. The brothers are distressed upon hearing they'll be spending the first few days of their summer vacation with their cousin Amelia. All fears are put to rest, however, when they discover that she shares their wild sense of humor. When they're not cracking corny jokes, the youngsters devise boredom-busting games such as "Pufferbelly Pointer Punt," "Holey Cheese-n-Peas," and "Curse of the Mummy" (instructions, along with Riot Brother Rules and parody songs, are appended). Divided into three mini-books with several short chapters that have large type and a generous number of zany cartoon drawings, this offering should be easy for newly independent readers to digest, while the nonstop humor will grab older children. Kids are sure to enjoy the warm family dynamics between the imaginative and exuberant brothersand their like-minded cousinand the breakneck pace of this uproariously funny book."Madigan McGillicuddy, Los Angeles Public Library"

      Rambunctious, fun-loving brothers Orville and Wilbur meet their match in cousin Amelia, who loves rubber snakes, secret missions, and crazy games as much as they do. Three stories introduce separate adventures: a mystery, a museum trip, and a water park outing. Each is full of activity, Riot Brother rules, and improvised songs. The kids remain kooky, with cartoon illustrations to match.
