New Releases by Stephan Pastis

A collection of comic strips mocks the foibles of human nature with the antics of egotistical Rat, clueless Pig, intellectual Goat, and letter-writing optimist Zebra.

Now look what you''ve done: Timmy Failure and his polar bear sidekick, Total, are about to crack the biggest case of his generation, a school competition to find a stolen globe.

Even Rat cracks a smile in this fifth Pearls Before Swine collection tailored for middle-grade readers. Witty, wacky, and occasionally wise, Suit Your Selfie is more kid-friendly fun from the New York Times best-selling author of Timmy Failure.

Continúa la aventura de este personaje inolvidable. ¡¡¡¡¡ATENCIÓN!!!!! ESTÁIS A PUNTO DE PRESENCIAR LAGRANDEZA. Seguro que has leído los tres libros anteriores sobre mi vida. Por si no lo has hecho, te diré que soy Timmy De Sastre, el mejor detective del mundo. Ahora mismo estoy atrapado en un viaje a ninguna parte a través del país. ¿Que cómo he llegado a esta situación? Tú quieres saber la verdad, pero casi mejor que no. Porque en un mundo tan zumbado, donde lo que era bueno ahora es malo, la verdad tiene que estar debidamente desinfectada.

The Pearls gang returns with characteristically misanthropic humor (but with more leather): no self-aggrandizing is too flagrant for Rat, no subject is too erudite for Goat, and no sensory input is too basic for Pig. All topics are fair game for Stephan Pastis and his brass-knuckle punch lines. Comic strip censors, apathetic baristas, and IRS employees are all strongly advised to laugh or get out of the way. Pearls Hogs the Road also features three comic strips illustrated by the legendary Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes, who ended a 19-year hiatus from the comics page to collaborate with Pastis.

Deel 4, vanaf 9 jaar en voor fans van Het leven van een Loser. Flip Fiasco is de beste detective ooit, maar hij moet wel gewoon met zijn moeder en haar vriendinnen op vakantie. Hardop lachen geblazen! Dit e-book is niet geschikt voor zwart-wit e-readers. ''Flip Fiasco – Schoon genoeg'' is het vierde deel in de succesvolle graphicnovelreeks Flip Fiasco, geschreven door Stephan Pastis. Flip Fiasco, aangenaam! Groots! En allerbeste detective ooit. Eigenaar van Fiks Fiasco bv, mijn wereldberoemde detectivebureau. Dit voorjaar moet ik met mijn moeder en haar beste vrienden op vakantie. Bestemming onbekend. Hoe ik hier nou weer in ben beland doet er niet toe, maar de wereld lijkt wel gek geworden; goeierds worden gestraft, slechteriken worden beloond. Ik heb er schoon genoeg van! ‘Grappiger dan Het leven van een Loser’ – ''Kirkus Book Review''

Sure, crocs can fly . . . just not in the way you might expect. This spectacular feat usually involves an impenetrable wall, zip lines, gravity, and an appetizing zebra on the other side. In this collection of cartoons specially chosen for kids, the gang from Pearls Before Swine gets into adventures you have to see to believe. Join Rat and Pig--the brains and the pawn--as they attempt the first 3D comic; see what happens when the luckless crocs adopt two Oreos (penguins); and roll your eyes with Goat as he tries desperately to keep his sanity in the midst of these antics. Warning: Flying (Falling) Crocs Ahead!

Synopsis coming soon.......

Banishment from his life’s calling can’t keep a comically overconfident detective down in the latest episode by New York Times bestseller Stephan Pastis. This book was never meant to exist. No one needs to know the details. Just know this: there’s a Merry, a Larry, a missing tooth, and a teachers’ strike that is crippling Timmy Failure’s academic future. Worst of all, Timmy is banned from detective work. It’s a conspiracy of buffoons. He recorded everything in his private notebook, but then the manuscript was stolen. If this book gets out, he will be grounded for life. Or maybe longer. And will Timmy’s mom really marry Doorman Dave?

Deel 3, vanaf 9 jaar en voor fans van Het leven van een Loser. Flip Fiasco is de beste detective ooit, maar hij moet wel gewoon op honkbal. Hardop lachen geblazen! Dit e-book is niet geschikt voor zwart-wit e-readers. Het derde graphicnovelavontuur van Flip Fiasco in ''Flip Fiasco – Nóg een keer'', geschreven door Flip Fiasco zelf, met hulp van Stephen Pastis. Ben jij een van de drie mensen ter wereld die mijn vorige boeken nog niet hebben gelezen? Dan vat ik ze even voor je samen: ik ben Flip Fiasco en mijn detectivebureau gaat internationaal doorbreken. Samen met mijn assistent-ijsbeer Fiks omzeil ik listige hindernissen en overwin ik elke tegenslag. Flip moet op honkbal van zijn moeder. Terwijl hij daar helemaal geen tijd voor heeft, want er is een zaak die zijn aandacht vraagt. De zaak van het verdwenen Mirakel-rapport. En dan moet hij ook nog samenwerken met aartsvijand nummer 1: Fiona Fiona. Zal Flip weer triomferen?

¡Acompaña a Timmy De Sastre en esta nueva aventura! Por si acaso eres una de las tres únicas personas del mundo que no han leído los volúmenes anteriores de mis memorias, te las resumiré: Me llamo De Sastre. Timmy De Sastre. Y mi agencia de detectives está a punto de alcanzar la dominación mundial. Aunque a veces se gira en mi contra, como cuando me ponen un menú especial en el cole... ¡Arg! Solo hay algo seguro: ¡Timmy De Sastre volverá a salir triunfante! ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the New York Times best-selling creator of Timmy Failure comes a third adventure about the comically overconfident sleuth. His name is Failure. Timmy Failure. And his detective agency is on the verge of global domination. Global riches. Global fame. And yet the gods keep throwing him curveballs: for starters, academic probation. The coveted Miracle Report is the key to everything, including a good grade. It’s dirty business. It’s best you know nothing. But one thing is for sure: Timmy Failure will be triumphant again!

ADVENTURE STORIES (CHILDREN''S / TEENAGE). Fans of Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates will love the hilarious fifth instalment from Timmy Failure, aka the world''s greatest detective. The only thing you need to know about Timmy s latest memoir is that it was never meant for publication. Timmy''s detective log was stolen, and if this book gets out, Timmy will be grounded for life. Or maybe even longer. Because while Timmy was meant to be focusing on schoolwork, he was continuing his detective work in a garden shed. You don''t need the details. Just know this: there''s a Merry, a Larry, a missing tooth and a disappearing friend. But don''t tell Timmy''s mother!. Ages 9+

True to Pearls Before Swine tradition, the latest cartoon collection brims with Stephan Pastis’s cynical humor, sharp wit, and clever commentary. Always together—and sometimes with their fellow funny-page characters—the regular Pearls clan weighs in on everything from modern technology to current events to human nature. All the members of the skewed gang are here as Zebra engages in a never-ending war of neighborly hate with the Crocs. As always, Goat offers a voice of reason amid the ongoing chaos that Pastis creates, either from behind the pen or as a character within the strip itself. Pastis’s latest collection is sure to add to the funny-page phenomenon, giving Pearls fans more of what they know and love: satirical logic and hilarious wit. Includes all cartoons from the collections Breaking Stephan and King of the Comics.

Deel 2, vanaf 9 jaar en voor fans van Het leven van een Loser. Flip Fiasco is de beste detective ooit, maar iemand probeert hem te saboteren. Hardop lachen geblazen! Flip Fiasco is terug! Er zijn drie dingen die je moet weten: Ik werd geboren Ik heb een groots detective-imperium opgericht Ik heb grootsheid uitgevonden GROOTSHEID Als oprichter, eigenaar en directeur van Fiks Fiasco bv heeft Flip het maar druk, want het grootste mysterie ooit is op zijn pad gekomen: de zaak van de verdwenen aardbol. Maar een of andere zwendelaar probeert zijn zaak te saboteren. Flip moet zichzelf beschermen...

Timmy Fiasco é o comicamente autoconfiante e sem noção diretor executivo de um império de investigação em expansão. Com seu preguiçoso sócio, um gordo urso-polar chamado Total, ele pode tornar qualquer mistério ainda mais misterioso. No entanto, seus planos não incluem uma pessoa do sexo feminino cujo nome não deve ser pronunciado. Assim como também não incluem Rollo Tookus, tão obcecado por entrar para a universidade "Stanfurd" que não consegue levar a cabo uma missão de espionagem. Nem Molly Moskins, a menina que cheira a tangerina e é louca por Timmy, o que faz dela sua óbvia (e única) suspeita. Com uma imaginação fértil e uma lógica peculiar, o pequeno Timmy vai conquistar os leitores com suas hilárias desventuras ao tentar resolver alguns casos de seus colegas de escola e seguir sua caminhada rumo ao sucesso. Timmy Fiasco é o primeiro livro para jovens do premiado cartunista Stephan Pastis, bestseller do The New York Times, e recebeu elogios de grandes nomes como Jeff Kinney, autor de Diário de um banana.

Flip Fiasco runt samen met zijn zakenpartner Fiks de ijsbeer het beste detectivebureau van het land, of misschien wel van de hele wereld: Fiasco bv. Nu te zien op Disney+. Flip Fiasco – Oeps... is een supergrappig debuut van Stephan Pastis. Een graphic novel voor de jonge fans van de serie Het leven van een Loser van Jeff Kinney. Fiasco is de naam. Flip Fiasco, aangenaam. Ik ben de oprichter, eigenaar en directeur van het beste detectivebureau van het land. Wat zeg ik? Van de hele wereld. Dit boek is een verslag van mijn leven als detective. Elk feitje klopt (grondig gecontroleerd) en de meesterlijke tekeningen zijn van mijzelf. Ooit tekende mijn zakenpartner Fiks – ijsbeer – ze, maar dat leek nergens naar. Stephan Pastis tekende Pearls Before Swine, een grappige strip die in meer dan 650 kranten verscheen en later ook in boeken. Flip Fiasco – Oeps... is zijn eerste kinderboek. Stephan woont in Amerika.

Me llamo De Sastre. Timmy De Sastre. Comienzan las aventuras de este personaje inolvidable y su inseparable amigo que no podrás dejar de leer. Me llamo De Sastre. Timmy De Sastre. Soy el fundador, presidente y consejero delegado de la mejor agencia de detectives de la ciudad, probablemente de toda la nación. El libro que tenéis en vuestras manos es un relato histórico de mi vida como detective. Todos los datos que recoge están contrastados. Todos los dibujos que lleva los he hecho yo. Intenté que mi socio Total hiciera las ilustraciones, pero no eran buenas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “An endearingly pathetic antihero with delusions of greatness…. Seldom has failure been so likable — or so funny.” — The Wall Street Journal Take Timmy Failure—the clueless, comically self-confident CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Add his impressively lazy business partner, a very large polar bear named Total, and what you have is Total Failure, Inc. From the offbeat creator of Pearls Before Swine comes an endearingly bumbling hero in a hilarious caper accompanied by a whodunit twist. With perfectly paced visual humor, Stephan Pastis gets readers snorting with laughter, then slyly carries the joke a beat further—or sweetens it with an unexpected poignant moment—making this a comics-inspired story that truly stands apart from the pack.

Cette fois, Timmy Lalouse en est sûr : sa vie va changer et sa carrière de détective va décoller. Il va participer à un concours interscolaire où une enquête doit être menée pour retrouver un objet volé. Le prix à remporter lui assurera un avenir en or, et l’avenir de l’agence Lalouse Totale sera assuré. Mais il lui reste beaucoup d’obstacles à surmonter, dans l’ordre croissant de difficulté : 1/ Une grand-tante excentrique à canaliser ; 2/ De sinistres tricheurs à démasquer ; 3/ Un dossier d’inscription à compléter !

Meet Timmy Failure, founder of the ''best'' detective agency in town - Total Failure, Inc. Timmy may only be 11, but with the help of his polar bear, Total, he already has plans for world domination. Plans that will make his mother rich and unpaid bills a thing of the past. And plans that will defeat Corrina Corrina, ''The One Whose Name Shall Not Be Uttered''. But she''s not going away.

Prénom : Timmy. (Pourquoi pas.) / Nom : Lalouse. (À ne pas confondre avec Le Loser même si c’est tentant.) / Date de naissance : inconnue. (Mais 6 ans d’âge mental – voire moins parfois.) / Signe distinctif : son meilleur ami est un ours polaire baptisé Totale. (Ce n’est pas une blague.) / Activité professionnelle : dirigeant de l’agence de détectives L’Agence Lalouse Totale, Inc. (Sans commentaire.) / Projet d’avenir : faire de son agence la meilleure et la plus riche du monde. (Il y a du travail !) / Situation réelle au début du roman : utilise le placard de sa mère comme bureau ; perd son temps à se rendre en classe où il n’écoute absolument rien et sabote tous ses contrôles. (Toute ressemblance avec des lecteurs existantes est totalement fortuite.) / Évolution du personnage au fil du roman : à découvrir de toute urgence. (Vous allez bien rire.)

Timmy Frana è tornato! Ed è pronto per affrontare il caso più importante della sua carriera!

Timmy Failure is the founder, president and CEO of the greatest detective agency in town, probably the country, perhaps the world. And he''s about to crack the biggest case of his generation: a school competition to find a stolen globe, and win the $500 prize which will set him up for life. But someone is clearly trying to cheat
