Bookroo's summary

Elisa Michaels is determined to prove she can match her older brother, Russell, in every way. As the family embarks on a summer vacation, Elisa seizes every opportunity to outdo him. But when an unexpected challenge arises, it's up to Elisa to save the day. Can she rise to the occasion and show her true capabilities, or will the pressure be too much? Join the Michaels family for a summer filled with sibling rivalry, adventure, and a test of courage that could change everything.

From the publisher

Now that she’s done with first grade, Elisa has lots of time to prove she can do anything her older brother, Russell, can do. With the family’s big vacation coming up, Elisa finds plenty of ways to show Russell that just because he’s older, doesn’t mean he’s better. But topping Russell is one thing. What will happen when it’s up to Elisa to save the day for the whole family?
