Mijn zus is een Flussemus is the second book of Syl.
It's summer and Emma is bored. Her friends are all gone and she can't play games with her sister Sanne, because Sanne is a girl with special needs. In fact, Sanne is like a big baby who has to laugh at words like 'flussemus'. For Emma it goes without saying that Sanne is like that, but it is also sometimes unfair. For example, why has Emma to go to those stupid summer swimming lessons and Sanne doesn't?
