The Grunts in Trouble

Philip Ardagh

Casa editrice: Nosy Crow

Sinossi

The first in the hilarious series from Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning author Philip Ardagh and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Axel Scheffler.
Mr and Mrs Grunt, who are neither clean nor clever, live with their adopted in fact, abducted son, Sunny, in a donkey-drawn caravan somewhere or other at some time that is a bit like now but not exactly now. Sunny is an odd-looking boy, what with his left ear being higher than his right ear and that kind of sticky-up hair which NEVER goes flat, even if you massage glue into it and then jump on it. Together the unusual family find themselves in frankly improbable but very funny adventures involving bendy railings, double-barrelled shotguns, full-fat yoghurt and, always, a beard of bees.

The Bridge from Me to You

Lisa Schroeder

Lauren has a secret. Colby has a problem. But when they find each other, everything falls into place. From the author of the Charmed Life series. 
 
In alternating chapters of verse and prose, new girl Lauren and football hero Colby come together, fall apart, and build something stronger than either of them thought possible—something to truly believe in. 
 
“Writing in alternating viewpoints, with Lauren’s chapters unfolding in free verse and Colby’s in prose, Schroeder (Falling for You) offers a thoughtful, straightforward, and fairly chaste romance between two kind, generous teens—one burdened by her past, one burdened by his future.” —Publishers Weekly 
 
“The alternating chapters of Lauren’s poetry and Colby’s conversational prose are well written and help reveal the characters refreshingly unique perspectives, as well as their growth in positive ways . . . This light, fast-paced story will delight romance fans looking for a fun, hopeful read.” —School Library Journal 
 
“Familiar characters and a quiet plot are elevated by poetry that is as beautiful as it is varied. Lovely in its details.” —Kirkus Reviews
