Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories: Jeff Kinney: 3 (Awesome Friendly Kid)

Product Information

Surprisingly Sudden Death: Gabe just... dies. No reason why he dies, all we know is that he's a ghost now and he's dead. 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! This book contains 14 chapters: The Changing, The Prankster, Ghost Friend, The Biter, The Human Head, The Scanner, The Cellar, The Nap, The Stain, a mummy, The Science Project, The Medicine Cabinet, The Invasion, and The Demon. Older Than They Look: It turns out Ryan's parents are actually 114 and 112. Ryan doesn't want to say it out loud, but that's old. This is the first book to have Greg as a minor character, and will probably be the last book to do that.

Artistic License – Geography: In a mummy, the Tokyo Skytree and the Daikanransha are right next to each-other, and the same goes for the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. Justified, as Rowley is just a kid and probably didn't study enough to know this. Rowley's spooky stories might leave you laughing, but beware-you could end up sleeping with the lights on! 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. Happens in Ghost Friend, where Rusty’s grades are lowered dramatically and can’t get a job or wife because Gabe had bothered him so much he couldn’t focus on a single thing. Happens in The Nap, where Aunt Fannie dies at the beginning of Summer vacation and none of her family realized it until the week was halfway over.Defanged Horrors: Not many of the stories are outright horrific, often having some sort of wholesome twist on them by the end. This is intentional, since it's Rowley writing the book, and he's easily scared himself. Da mir die ersten beiden Bände der Rupert-Reihe total gut gefallen haben, musste ich natürlich auch den dritten Band unbedingt bei mir einziehen lassen. Auf das neue Rupert-Lesefutter habe ich mich tierisch gefreut! Monumental Damage: During Mekh's rage, he destroys the Eiffel Tower, damages the Arc de Triomphe, and burns the Tokyo Skytree and the Daikanransha. 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. New Technology Is Evil: In The Cellar, Rafe is kept from the world for his entire life. The reason for this is because the world was too hooked on technology to be good, so his parents isolated him so he wouldn't get addicted to a screen as well. Unfortunately, Rafe's parents thought he could be trusted to have a job and have a phone at the same time, and Rafe ends up getting hooked.

Sore Loser: Why does Victor create Frankenstein and become a famous scientist? Because he got second place in a science project, and held a petty grudge.

In The Stain, Robbie drops one of two ice creams he brought and tells a lie that the ice cream he dropped was his dad's and not his (for some reason). This causes a strawberry ice cream stain to appear on his crisp white shirt, so he washes it and lies that he's simply just doing a load of laundry. He wakes up the next day to find out the strawberry stain turned all the clothes pink. This stresses Robbie out so much he tries to sneak out, but is caught by his parents.

You’ll meet zombies, vampires, ghosts and much more in these comically terrifying tales. Actually Not a Vampire: Lilli in The Biter is thought to be a vampire since she had sharp teeth and really liked to bite things. It turns out she just likes to bite things, though her parents still tell people that Lilli is a vampire since that got her a lot of friends. Demonic Possession: In The Demon, Greg recites a demonic message from a horror movie to prove it's nothing. Sure enough, he gets possessed and trashes the house. Or ''is'' he possessed?
