Joe Berger Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

A boy must untangle the web of lies he’s created in order to prove his innocence in this humorous and cheeky illustrated middle grade novel that’s perfect for “fans of Timmy Failure and Big Nate” ( Kirkus Reviews ). Sam Lyttle is prone to stretching the truth. Most of his lies are harmless; tall tales and the product of an overactive imagination. So when Sam is summoned to explain a strange discovery—a ping-pong ball in a jar of peanut butter—and denies involvement, no one believes him. Then more seemingly unrelated peculiarities emerge, and Sam categorically denies any knowledge of those, too. In between these mysterious accusations, and with evidence mounting against him, Sam ruminates on the different sorts of lies he has told using examples from his past. Meanwhile, two pounds of potatoes wind up in the washing machine. Sam comes to a decision: he decides it is time to come clean about this latest tangled web. He gathers his family to hear the truth. The whole truth. Or is it? Could it be that this final “truth” is, in fact, another lie?

Druhá časť dobrodružstiev malej Pandory a jej šibalskej babky, čarodejnice Vranoletty, ktorá zakaždým vyparatí niečo naozaj, ale naozaj švihnuté, rozpráva o tom, ako sa po šibnutí jej čarovného prútika v školskej hre zjavia skutoční piráti, v kúpeľni lietajúce netopiere a na svadbe celé kopy chrobákov.

Tretia časť dobrodružstiev Pandory a jej šibalskej babky, čarodejnice Vranoletty rozpráva o plyšových mackoch, čo ožijú na narodeninovej párty, tučniakoch na rozhorúčenom letnom kúpalisku a bublidžúse, ktorý naozaj vybuble! Všade, kam totiž babka Vranoletta vkročí, zavládne čarokrásny chaos. Pandora má veru vždy čo naprávať - ešteže aj ona vie čarovať...

“Royalty does not karate-chop.” –Madame Gertrude Princess Viola is great at skateboarding and karate-chopping, but she’s lousy at the royal wave, walk, and waltz. The king and queen are not pleased. What’s a princess to do? Attend the skill-polishing Camp Princess, of course. In the end, it’s a good thing Viola is made of tougher stuff. Who else will save the day when the green dragon comes along? Joe Berger’s zippy illustrations use comic book–style panels and show off ZIP! ZUP! ZOOM! sound effects. This sweet, funny picture book is just the ticket for spunky princess-loving girls who can appreciate a glittery book jacket!
