Bookroo's summary

Elisa loves playing with her brother Russell, but her playful antics often lead to unexpected trouble, like giving his fish a bubble bath. As her well-intentioned help spirals into chaos, Elisa must find a way to mend the messes she creates. Can she learn to balance her mischievous spirit with the need to make amends, or will her playful nature always lead to more trouble? Dive into Elisa's world of fun and mishaps, where every game is a chance for laughter and lessons.

From the publisher

Elisa’s always ready to play games with her older brother Russell. She even lets Russell decide which ones. And she tries to be helpful, too. But sometimes Elisa’s helping out doesn’t go exactly as planned
