Bøger af Rob Harrell

Gary og vennerne, Carl og Brook, er oppe imod, hvad der måske er deres mest uhyggelige mission til dato: en magisk præsidenthaj, en skinkeformet ballon og en sommerlejr! Først er der den pludselige optræden af Hajbraham Lincoln (halvt haj, halvt præsident!) som igangsætter en stor snydeskandale. Og på Muggen Tryne lejren, hvor Gary bare håber på en rolig, afslappet sommer med sine venner, går intet som forventet (sømonsteret med de utrolige maveproblemer gør det heller ikke ligefrem nemmere) … Vil Batgris nogensinde få en chance for bare at slappe af og nyde nogle velsmagende sandwiches?

Maybe Batpig can come to the rescue?Based on Rob Harrell's own real life experience with eye cancer, and including amazing comic-strip artwork, this poignant and authentic novel is unforgettable, hilarious and uplifting.

"A Wimpy Kid format with a fairy-tale twist? Yes, this is bound to be a hit." --BooklistShrek meets Dork Diaries in this comic novel of a troll trying to figure out how to be more popular. It's not easy being Zarf. As a troll, he's stuck at the bottom of the middle school hierarchy, way below the prince and knights (populars), ogres and giants (jocks), and even the lowly minstrels (band geeks). Plus, trolls aren't exactly known for their brain power or cool demeanor. But it gets worse. When the king disappears and Zarf's archenemy, the prince, ascends the throne, he makes Zarf's life even more miserable. And so it is that Zarf and his two sidekicks (a neurotic, mutton-obsessed pig and the not-funny son of the court jester) set out to find the missing king as well as their way to middle school heroism. (Okay, the heroism part might be wishful thinking.) The first book in this brilliant new illustrated series from comics creator Rob Harrell is perfect for fans of fractured fairytales and the Land of Stories series.

Fractured fairy tales meet modern day middle school in book two of this hilarious series that's perfect for fans of Shrek, Dork Diaries, and Wimpy Kid.Even after rescuing the king, Zarf is scum on the bottom rung of the middle school social ladder. After all, he is still a troll. But at least he still has his two best friends, Kevin and Chester . . . until Kevin disappears, that is. It seems a band of wolves are seeking revenge for the constant disgrace they've suffered over the years, and Little Red Ridinghood's kid might be next on their list. Now it's up to Zarf to crank out a solution from that troll brain of his, and save his best friend before it's too late. Award-winning comic creator Rob Harrell has middle-grade humor mastered. This second book in his Life of Zarf series is packed with even more witty one-liners and clever twists on classic folk and fairytales. It's perfect for fans of Chris Colfer's Land of Stories series.Praise for Life of Zarf: The Trouble with Weasels:"Entertainingly goofy. A promising series kickoff full of off-kilter action and humor." -Publishers Weekly"A Wimpy Kid format with a fairy-tale twist? Yes, this is bound to be a hit." -Booklist

""Harrell's work combines pop culture, innocence, friendship, and some of the seamier side of the circus background that only adults can appreciate."" Come one! Come all . . . to the exciting world of Big Top! Rob Harrell's three-ring comic strip has already packed the house with fans eager for his hilarious take on the circus and those who bring it to life. The circus and its colorful cast-led by 10-year-old Pete and his happily reformed performing bear, Wink-are a perfect metaphor for life. It's not always what happens on the surface, Big Top reminds us, but what takes place backstage that delivers the lessons and the humor. Pete and Wink keep plenty of odd company, including Kingston, coolest king of the jungle; Stucco, a mute clown who still manages to make his point; Manfred, the bookish monkey; Dusty, the wisecracking tell-it-like-it-is trained poodle; Andrea, the new acrobat girl who's caught Pete's eye; and Hairy Mary the Bearded Lady, a mother figure to them all. Take this crew on the road and you get an endless array of situations and relationships, care and impatience, honesty and intolerance. It's like one big Big Top family . . . one that welcomes all readers for the mere price of a ticket.
