Stanley Yelnats lebt unter einem Fluch, der seit seinem Urgroßvater auf der Familie lastet: er ist zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort. So ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass er in ein Lager für jugendliche Straftäter geschickt wird, obwohl er unschuldig ist. Camp Green Lake heißt das Lager, doch einen See hat es dort seit über 100 Jahren nicht mehr gegeben. Jeden Tag müssen die Jungen ein Loch von 1,50 m Tiefe in den Boden des ehemaligen Sees graben - das soll angeblich Charaktertraining sein. Schon bald merkt Stanley, dass es der Lagerverwalterin nicht um Charaktertraining geht.Eine surrealistische Märchenwelt und harten Realismus vereint der Autor in diesem faszinierenden Werk, in dem auch Freundschaft und menschliche Solidarität ihren Platz haben.Abiturempfehlung zu den Themenbereichen Crime und Growing up

Everyone is laughing at Marvin Redpost. He's the grossest kid in school. Why? He picks his nose. Well, that's the rumour the class bully, Clarence, started and no one argues with Clarence - not even Marvin's so-called best friends. So what can Marvin do to turn things round?

Suicide Hill is the ultimate test of bravery. Few have conquered the treacherously steep slope without completely wiping out - or so the legend goes. And rumour has it that Marvin will be taking it on. Only Marvin isn't so sure. His new mountain bike is enormous - he can barely climb up on to it. And changing gears is out of the question.

Today is Thursday. Today is 'hole' day. So, naturally, everyone is wearing their 'holiest' clothes. Even the class teacher, Mrs North ...But she is soon to find out from Principal McCabe that a surprise visitor is coming to the school. In fact, the President of the United States is on his way. And there's no time to change.

Classic series of pacy adventures rejacketed for a new audience Casey Happleton works her mysterious magic on Marvin in the final book of the Marvin Redpost series.

Marvin cannot get to sleep. It's late, the ground is hard in Nick Tuffle's garden, he is far too full on cake and he has drunk too much punch. Then he hears a low humming noise. He feels the earth shudder beneath him and there is a bright flash - sort of the same colour as the green icing on Nick's birthday cake.

While Mrs North, Marvin's teacher is on holiday, she asks him to look after her dog. Suddenly, Marvin has become the luckiest boy in school. He'll get to sniff about Mrs North's house, look in her wardrobe and rummage in her fridge. He gets paid $3 a day and he will get a bonus on top if everything goes smoothly. What could possibly go wrong?

Marvin lives in a grey house with a white fence - a white fence but for one red post. He has red hair and blue eyes. He is left-handed. 'We're lucky to be left-handed', said Mrs North, 'It means we have royal blood'. One day, at school, Marvin realises his parents have brown hair and they have brown eyes. Can he really be Marvin Redpost?

Marvin is yet again caught in a dilemma. He's been told that he'll turn into a girl if he kisses his elbow, and after accidentally doing just that he wonders if it is really going to happen to him. His voice starts to change, and he even dots his 'i's with a heart in class! What on earth has happened to Marvin, and will he ever be the same again?
