Preparati per una nuova avventura mozzafiato tra Asia ed Europa!   Dopo la scomparsa del padre e il rapimento della madre, Bick, Beck, Storm e Tommy devono disperatamente riconquistare un antico vaso cinese per pagare il riscatto ai pirati che tengono mamma Kidd prigioniera.

I fratelli Kidd l’avventura ce l’hanno nel sangue, ma ora che mamma e papà sono misteriosamente scomparsi devono cavarsela da soli. Dalle profondità dell’oceano, alle brulicanti strade di New York, non sarà semplice seminare i pirati-surfisti che sono sulle loro tracce...

Jamie Grimm is a middle schooler on a mission: he wants to become the world's greatest standup comedian--even if he doesn't have a lot to laugh about these days. He's new in town and stuck living with his aunt, uncle, and their evil son Stevie, a bully who doesn't let Jamie's wheelchair stop him from messing with Jamie as much as possible. But Jamie doesn't let his situation get him down. When his Uncle Frankie mentions a contest called The Planet's Funniest Kid Comic, Jamie knows he has to enter. But are the judges only rewarding him out of pity because of his wheelchair, like Stevie suggests? Will Jamie ever share the secret of his troubled past instead of hiding behind his comedy act? Following the bestselling success of the hilarious Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life , James Patterson continues to dish out the funnies in another highly-illustrated, heartfelt middle school story. (Includes more than 175 black-and-white illustrations.)

The play features a diverse cast and revolves around the theme of belonging, emphasizing that everyone has a place to call home. Written by acclaimed TYA author Chris Grabenstein, it combines humor and heartfelt moments, making it perfect for both school groups and professional children's theaters. The narrative includes the whimsical "Curiosity Cat," enhancing the comedic and emotional depth of the story, ensuring an engaging experience for young audiences.

Middle schooler Jamie Grimm has big dreams of being the best stand-up comic in the world âe" and he won't let the fact that he's in a wheelchair get in his way. After winning the New York state finals in the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic Contest, Jamie's off to Boston to compete in the national semi-finals. But when one of his best buddies runs into trouble at school and a sudden family health scare rears its head, Jamie has to put his comedic ambitions on hold and stand by the people he cares about. Can Jamie pass up the big competition for the sake of his friends and family?

Bick Kidd and his globe-trotting siblings Beck, Storm and Tommy may have completed their first treasure hunt after their father was lost at sea, but their kidnapped mother is still in the hands of nasty pirates. Their search for a rescue plan takes them down the Nile river in Africa, where they'll have to navigate everything from Egyptian pyramids in the desert to wet-and-wild jungles - not to mention life-threatening encounters with wilderness diseases, angry hippos and some seriously bad guys - in order to find the treasure and save the day.

Jamie Grimm is back and better than ever in the third episode of James Patterson's bestselling I FUNNY series.
