Bruno. Der Junge mit den grünen Haaren
gelesen von Ben Becker
Der kleine Bruno hat seinen eigenen Kopf: Zum Beispiel will er sich nicht die Haare waschen, was immer seine Mutter auch versucht. Bis er eines Tages ein wunderschönes Stück Seife findet. Leuchtend grüne Seife! Damit werden seine Haare nicht nur sauber, sondern auch grasgrün - sehr zum Entsetzen von Brunos Mutter, Oma und der Lehrerin. Und zur Begeisterung der Seifenfabrikbesitzer, die Bruno umgehend zum Werbestar machen wollen. Der ganze Wirbel um seinen grünen Kopf macht Bruno ganz schön zu schaffen. Wie gut, dass am Ende alles nur ein Traum war - oder vielleicht doch nicht?
READ BY RUPERT DEGAS. It's the fourth Skulduggery Pleasant adventure... only Skulduggery Pleasant himself is lost on the other side of a portal, with only some evil gods for company. Can he possible survive? (Yes, all right, he's already dead. But still.)
What can we say, without giving too much away?
Not much, is the answer.
But what we CAN say is that this book is hilarious, it's tense, and it's packed with all the eye-popping action, crackling one liners and imaginative set pieces you've come to expect. There's a new threat to our plucky heroine, of course. But that's not all. There's also the little fact of the Big Bad, the uber-baddy who's going to come along and really, really destroy the world. (Really.) And what we learn about that villain in this book will literally make your jaw fall off and your hair go white with shock. (Not really.)
Will Skulduggery make it out of the Faceless Ones' dimension? Who knows. The problem is, he may not have much to come back to...
Someone has been farting up a storm at school and everyone thinks Keith Emerson is to blame. Unfortunately for Keith, it has earned him the nickname "S.B.D." (silent but deadly). To make matters worse, Keith's dad is a self proclaimed "Fart Machine" who really stinks it up at home. With the science fair quickly approaching, Keith decides he has had enough. He comes up with a science fair project idea to turn the foul smell of human gas into something sweet smelling. The idea lands him in the principal's office, and in big trouble with his mom. With the help of his little sister Emma, his dad, his crazy grandma, and Benjamin Franklin (great American scientist), Keith will attempt to make the greatest scientific discovery of all time, the cure for the common fart.
Sure, Keith Emerson may have cured the common fart at age nine. But that was so last year. Now, the whole world wants to know, "What have you done lately!?" Thanks to his invention of Sweet Farts, the tablets that cancel even the most ripe and pungent fart smells, Keith has become the center of all kinds of attention he doesn't want. His kid sister has turned into a farting maniac, and his parents blame him. His so-called best friends torture him at school with nicknames like "S.B.D." (for Silent But Deadly) and try to humiliate him every chance they get. The principal wants to know what Keith's next brilliant invention will be. His mentor, Mr. Gonzalez, is threatening to pull the plug on his laboratory. And, with the annual science fair just weeks away, it looks like the boy wonder is about to choke big time. No pressure, Keith. With a little help from some unexpected sources, Keith will learn a valuable life lesson in this hilarious follow-up to Raymond Bean's surprise hit, Sweet Farts.
Of especially naughty children, it is sometimes said: "They must have been raised by wolves." The Incorrigible children actually were.
Discovered in the forests of Ashton Place, the Incorrigibles are no ordinary children: Alexander keeps his siblings in line with gentle nips; Cassiopeia has a bark that is (usually) worse than her bite; and Beowulf is alarmingly adept at chasing squirrels.
Luckily, Miss Penelope Lumley is no ordinary governess. Only fifteen years old and a graduate of the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, Penelope embraces the challenge of her new position. Though she is eager to instruct the children in Latin verbs and the proper use of globes, first she must eliminate their canine tendencies.
But mysteries abound at Ashton Place: Who are these three wild creatures? Why does Old Timothy, the coachman, lurk around every corner? Will Penelope be able to civilize the Incorrigibles in time for Lady Constance's holiday ball? And what on earth is a schottische?
Penelope is no stranger to mystery, as her own origins are also cloaked in secrecy. But as Agatha Swanburne herself once said, "Things may happen for a reason, but that doesn't mean we know what the reason is-at least, not yet."
"Every newspaper and website in America is going to tell you that The Mysterious Howling will leave you HOWLING FOR MORE! So I'm not going to say that. But it's really good." -Ada Rex, author of The True Meaning of Smekday
