«Propeller-Opa» hat mir so viel Spaß gemacht, dass ich mir zeitweise einen Enkel gewünscht habe. (Jürgen von der Lippe) Vor vielen Jahren, als noch Krieg herrschte, war Jacks Opa ein berühmter Pilot. Aber nun wird er immer verwirrter im Kopf. Und als Opa ins Altersheim Twilight Towers kommen soll, das von der finsteren Vorsteherin Miss Swine geführt wird, ist Jack entschlossen, seinem Opa zur Flucht zur verhelfen. Doch die böse Vorsteherin ist ihnen dicht auf den Fersen ...

Papas gibt es in allen Formen und Größen – es gibt dicke und dünne, große und kleine, dumme und schlaue, laute und leise Papas. Aber keiner ist so wie Franks Papa Gilbert. Denn der ist ein berühmter Rennfahrer, der König der Straße, der Champion der Rennstrecke, von allen nur Gilbert der Große genannt! Doch nach einem schlimmen Unfall ist alles anders: Papa darf keine Rennen mehr fahren, und auf einmal sind Frank und Gilbert arm. Nachdem sie alle Möbel verpfändet haben, beschließt Papa in seiner Verzweiflung, das Fluchtauto bei einem Raubüberfall zu fahren, den der schreckliche Verbrecherboss Mr. Big und seine trotteligen Helfer Finger und Däumling planen. Doch er hat nicht mit seinem Sohn gerechnet: Frank ist wild entschlossen, seinen Vater davon abzuhalten, ein Banditen-Papa zu werden!

Questa è la storia di una ragazzina che aveva tuttoma voleva ancora di più. Solo una “cofa” in più... “Un altro successo per David Walliams. I suoi libri sono una meravigliosa boccata d’aria fresca.” The Sun Mirta Bonaccioni ha tutto ciò che può desiderare. Ma tutto non le basta. Vuole ancora di più! E quando dichiara di volere una COFA, solo un problema ostacola la possibilità di venire accontentata... Che cos’è una COFA? I signori Bonaccioni fanno di tutto per rendere felice la loro adorata figlia, visitano persino gli spettrali sotterranei della biblioteca per scavare nelle polverose pagine della misteriosa Monsterpedia. La loro disperata ricerca li porterà nel folto più fosco della foresta più forestosa dove si trovano le creature più rare. Ma i loro sforzi basteranno per trovare una COFA? L’incredibile storia, squisitamente surreale, di due genitori adorabili e del loro mostriciattolo di figlia... e dell’arrivo esplosivo di una COFA!

Di papà ce ne sono d’ogni forma e dimensione. Papà grassi e papà magri, papà alti e papà bassi. Papà giovani o anziani, furbi o bonaccioni, spassosi oppure seri, chiassosi o tranquilli. E poi, naturalmente, ci sono papà bravi e papà cattivi. Un tempo, il papà di Frank era un campione di corse sfascia-auto, era il Re della Pista, conosciuto da tutti come Gilbert il Grande! Ma in seguito a un terribile incidente in cui perde una gamba, da eroe acclamato dalle folle inizia a sentirsi piuttosto uno “zeroe”. Poi Gilbert perde il lavoro… Di colpo lui e Frank si ritrovano poverissimi e cadono nelle grinfie del malvagio Magnus e dei suoi scagnozzi. E quando Gilbert finisce in prigione, solo Frank può salvarlo...

Giò Patata ha un sacco di ragioni per essere felice. Più o meno un miliardo di ragioni, a dire la verità. Giò infatti ha tutto ciò che un bambino possa desiderare: una macchina da Formula Uno tutta per sé, mille paia di sneaker griffate, e persino un maggiordomo personale, che è anche un orango. Giò è il dodicenne più ricco della Terra. Eppure non è felice. Perché Giò ha un miliardo di euro, ma neanche un amico. All’improvviso, però, arriva qualcuno a cui lui piace per quello che è, e non per i suoi soldi. Ma Giò sta per imparare che quando ci sono di mezzo i soldi, niente è come appare...
