Geoff Rodkey Boeken

Music videos, internet stars, and blackmail - join Claudia and Reese in the fourth hilarious TAPPER TWINS tale from author and scriptwriter, Geoff Rodkey.

Combining elements of adventure and whimsy, this tale features a unique blend of quirky characters and high-seas escapades. The story captures the spirit of mischief and daring, reminiscent of classic tales like Tom Sawyer, while infusing a pirate-themed narrative filled with humor and intrigue. The engaging writing style promises an entertaining journey, appealing to fans of both Lemony Snicket's darkly comedic tone and the adventurous spirit of Pirates of the Caribbean.

In the follow up to the New York Times bestseller The Tapper Twins Go to War, the twins' school scavenger hunt turns into a "madcap, uproarious romp around the Big Apple" full of "action, hilarity, and mayhem" (School Library Journal). Geoff Rodkey delivers another pitch-perfect ultra-modern comedy told as oral history with texts, screenshots and smartphone photos. When Claudia initiates a citywide scavenger hunt to raise money for charity, it's not just the twins' opposing teams that run riot. With the whole school racing to trade in sights seen for points to score front row tickets at Madison Square Garden, they may not get to the finish line with their dignity--and social lives--intact!

An oral history that reports, through transcribed recordings, text messages, photographs, illustrations, screenshots, and more, an epic prank war between twelve-year-old twins Reese and Claudia Tapper of New York City

Imagine being forced to move to a new planet where YOU are the alien! From the creator of the Tapper Twins, New York Times bestselling author Geoff Rodkey delivers a topical, sci-fi middle-grade novel that proves friendship and laughter can transcend even a galaxy of differences. The first time I heard about Planet Choom, we'd been on Mars for almost a year. But life on the Mars station was grim, and since Earth was no longer an option (we may have blown it up), it was time to find a new home. That's how we ended up on Choom with the Zhuri. They're very smart. They also look like giant mosquitos. But that's not why it's so hard to live here. There's a lot that the Zhuri don't like: singing (just ask my sister, Ila), comedy (one joke got me sent to the principal's office), or any kind of emotion. The biggest problem, though? The Zhuri don't like us. And if humankind is going to survive, it's up to my family to change their minds. No pressure.

This middle-grade debut combines heartwarming moments with humor and thrilling action, creating an engaging narrative that captivates young readers. The story features relatable characters navigating challenges, making it both entertaining and meaningful. With its fast-paced plot and emotional depth, it promises to resonate with children and adults alike.

The Altmans are a normal family with normal problems. Until one very abnormal day upends life as they know it.

Egbert, genannt Egg, und sein einhändiger Freund Guts hoffen, in den Neuen Ländern jemanden vom Stamm der Okalu aufzutreiben, der ihnen beim Entziffern ihrer Schatzkarte behilflich ist. Doch wenn man nicht mehr als ein paar Schimpfwörter in der Landessprache beherrscht, gestaltet sich die Verständigung äußerst schwierig. Zudem haben sie immer noch den fiesen Pembroke am Hacken, der es ebenfalls auf die sagenumwobene Faust des Ka abgesehen hat. Als Egg schließlich den verfallenen Tempel der Okalu aufspürt, offenbart sich dort ein schockierendes Geheimnis …

Co může být děsivější než ti druzí? No přece my sami! Když je humor sci-fi… Být z jiné planety (a taky skoro poslední člověk ve vesmíru, na kterém závisí přežití zbytku lidstva) není žádná sranda. Anebo že by přece? Stačí jen přesvědčit obyvatele cizí planety, na které je zakázáno vyvolávat jakékoli emoce včetně smíchu, že lidé jsou naprosto mírumilovní, neškodní a užiteční tvorové a že si zaslouží dostat ještě šanci. I když si svoji vlastní planetu zničili. Přesně tohle dostanou za úkol Lani s rodinou. A nemají na to úplně moc času: týden. Proti nim stojí odhodlaní obyvatelé cizí planety, kteří jenom VYPADAJÍ jako komáři. A rozhodně se nehodlají smát. Ani zvednout koutek. To bude zábava! Vtipné a mrazivě trefné podobenství o nejpalčivějších problémech současnosti: migraci, fake news, mediální manipulaci a šíření nenávisti.
