Product Information

Scare yourself silly with Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories by Jeff Kinney, the #1 international bestselling author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Sandy Saito loves baseball, and the Vancouver Asahi ballplayers are his heroes. But when they lose in the 1941 semifinals, Sandy’s dad calls it a bad omen. Sure enough, in December 1941, Japan bombs Pearl Harbor in the U.S. The Canadian government begins to ban Japanese people from certain areas, moving them to “dormitories” and setting a curfew. Sandy wants to spend time with his father, but as a doctor, his dad is busy, often sneaking out past curfew to work. One night Papa is taken to “where he [is] needed most,” and the family is forced into an internment camp. Life at the camp isn’t easy, and even with some of the Asahi players playing ball there, it just isn’t the same. Trying to understand and find joy again, Sandy struggles with his new reality and relationship with his father. Based on the true experiences of Japanese Canadians and the Vancouver Asahi team, this graphic novel is a glimpse of how their lives were affected by WWII. The end is a bit abrupt, but it’s still an inspiring and sweet look at how baseball helped them through hardship. The illustrations are all in a sepia tone, giving it an antique look and conveying the emotions and struggles. None of the illustrations of their experiences are overly graphic, making it a good introduction to this upsetting topic for middle-grade readers. Scare yourself silly with Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories by Jeff Kinney, the #1 international bestselling author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid! The closest real spiritual tale might be the story “The Demon.” What does it mean to be possessed? What did it mean in this story?

Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories (Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid) by Jeff Kinney (pdfarchive.in).pdf.pdf You may know Greg Heffley from his Diary of a Wimpy Kid stories. Yeah, well Rowley Jefferson is Greg’s best friend. He’s a generally nice kid, even though he does make some kinda silly, nonsensical choices sometimes that end up landing Greg in hot water. There are a number of parents and teachers represented in the stories. And they all try to support or help the young protagonists on hand. The only exceptions are in one story where some adult politicians make some poor decisions (as politicians are sometimes wont to do), and another tale where some family members ignore an elderly aunt. In a third story, a town full of adults collectively lie to teach a boy a badly needed lesson. Review by loving son, age 10: Like life itself, there are funny bits, but only with the pictures. The endings are a little abrupt. Great pictures. Have I mentioned I like the pictures?Fürchtet ihr euch schnell? Ängstigst ihr euch vor Zombies, Skeletten oder abgehauenen Köpfen? Ja? Also wenn dem so sein sollte, lasst besser die Finger von diesem Buch, denn in diesem treiben lauter unheimliche Kreaturen ihr Unwesen. Wenn ihr aber gerne Bücher über Monster, Vampire, Werwölfe und Co. lesen solltet, solltet ihr unbedingt in die fantasievollen, schaurigen und superlustigen Gruselgeschichten von Rupert Jefferson eintauchen. Beschwert euch hinterher aber nicht bei mir, weil das Buch zu gruselig für euch war und ihr deswegen nachts nicht schlafen konntet. Ich habe euch schließlich gewarnt... Grab a flashlight, crawl under the covers, and dive into the twisted, unexpectedly hilarious world of Rowley Jefferson’s imagination. You’ll meet zombies, vampires, ghosts, and much more in these comically terrifying tales. Spooky Stories, as you might guess, is a bit of a genre-inspired book, with terrifying tales as told by Rowley. It’s Kinney’s very first book of short stories, and he’ll be promoting it via a socially distanced tour of 12 bookstores, the “Rowley’s Spooky Drive-Thru Tour.” We’ll have more about that later but in the meantime, enjoy this never before seen, hilariously horrific story from the demented mind of Rowley Jefferson about a boy who experiences terrifying changes to his body….and the truth behind those changes! Rowley’s spooky stories might leave you laughing, but beware—you could end up sleeping with the lights on!

You’ve got the tale of an airport scanner that turns people into living skeletons (which isn’t all that bad when you consider the savings on makeup and hair gel). And then there’s the story of The Stain, a lie that spreads to creepy proportions. The Human Head is all about a kid who was school friends with the Headless Horseman before that villain had even learned to ride a pony. And there are 11 more like those. Was dann auf gar keinen Fall unerwähnt bleiben darf, ist die Aufmachung. Diese ist wie gewohnt einfach nur brillant. Auch dieser Band ist selbstverständlich im typischen Gregs Tagebuch-Stil gestaltet, allerdings wurde natürlich auch dieses Mal der Zeichenstil etwas verändert. Wer schon einen Rupert-Band gelesen hat, der weiß, dass Rupert diese merkwürdige Angewohnheit hat, seine Menschen nasenlos zu zeichnen. Sieht zwar etwas seltsam aus, aber dieses leicht dümmliche (und zugleich supersüße) Aussehen, dass die Figuren dadurch erhalten, passt wahrlich einfach nur perfekt zu Rupert. Durch die einzigartige Bild-Text-Kombi ist auch dieser Band das ideale Buch für Lesemuffel. Da zudem der Schreibstil von Jeff Kinney erneut sehr einfach gehalten ist, sollten Kinder ab etwa 9 Jahren bei „Rupert präsentiert: Echt unheimliche Gruselgeschichten“ keinerlei Probleme mit dem Selberlesen haben.A must for Wimpy Kids fans, a few laugh out loud moments. I'm glad Jeff Kinney is branching out a bit, I feel it's working well for the series.
