Layla enters their lives and lights a match to the family veneer and a truth comes to light that will change each of their lives forever in deeply personal and powerful ways. As Layla embarks on this grand adventure to establish historical moments in print, her first friend, the town librarian Ms. Betts wisely cautions: "There is a problem with history.

"For what?" you might ask. "What did he do?" Well, you'll have to read the book to find out. Things Iggy will NOT do in this book: Be the most polite kid ever. Play the cello. Think before acting.

Ivy und Bean entdecken ein Gespenst im Mädchenklo der Emerson Schule. Begeistert von dem Abenteuer müssen sie jedoch schnell handeln, als die Lehrer davon erfahren. Die Geschichte handelt von Freundschaft und dem Spaß, den zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Mädchen erleben.

Mit den Mäusen teilen wir Menschen 99 Prozent unserer Gene. Die Schweine sollen uns auch ziemlich ähnlich sein. Aber wie ist das eigentlich mit all den anderen Dingen um uns herum? Dieses Bilderbuch geht dieser Frage verblüffend spielerisch nach. Was haben wir mit einer Dose Tomaten gemeinsam und was unterscheidet uns? Und wie sieht es bei einem Schwimmbecken, einem Pilz, einem Bagger oder einer Hyäne aus? Die herrlich absurden Vergleiche führen dabei immer näher an den Kern der Sache heran: Wir Menschen – egal wie verschieden wir sind – haben viel mehr miteinander gemeinsam, als uns trennt. Wir sind einander ähnlicher als allem anderen auf dieser Erde – zum Beispiel einer Tomatendose. Und unser Deckel sollte lieber zubleiben. Ein urkomisches Gedankenspiel über das, was uns bei aller Vielfalt verbindet

Nejlepší kamarádky Kája a Oliva spolu zažívají jedno dobrodružství za druhým. Tentokrát je čeká velká záhada, na školních záchodech totiž objeví ducha! Oči mu světélkují a vydává podivné zvuky. To je ta nejúžasnější věc, kterou kdy zažily! Po škole se zpráva šíří rychlostí blesku a Kája s Olivou jsou nadšené – alespoň do té doby, než na jejich tajemství přijde paní učitelka. Podle ní duchové do školy nepatří. Kája s Olivou teď budou muset vymyslet, jak ducha poslat pryč. Podaří se jim to? Možná. Bude to zábava a legrace? Jasně!

Poplach! Oliva právě zjistila, že jí rodiče nechávají na celé odpoledne v péči Hany, její otravné starší sestry. Co si počne? Má potichu sedět na gauči v obývacím pokoji a ani nedutat? Nebo si má radši vyrobit provazový žebřík a utéct oknem? To je ale hloupá otázka. Oliva potřebuje kus provazu, potřebuje skrýš, ale ze všeho nejvíc potřebuje Káju. Když jsou totiž spolu, dokážou si i se špatnou chůvou v patách užít spoustu legrace.

Oliva se zkrátka nudí, až jí jednoho dne paní učitelka přinese knihu světových rekordů a ona se dozví o největších, nejmenších a nejzvláštnějších věcech na světě. Brzo propadne celá druhá třída rekordní horečce. Kdo udělá nejvíc hvězd? Kdo si pověsí na obličej šestnáct lžic? Je opravdu možné řvaním rozbít sklenku? Kája s Olivou mají vlastní plán, jak vytvořit rekord, plán plný hlíny, zkamenělin, izolepy a – jako pokaždé – spousty legrace!

Jedna skáče do louží, leze po stromech a ráda křičí na celý svět, druhá tráví celé dny s knížkou na schodech, nosí šaty a třpytivé čelenky… Hned jak se Oliva s Kájou uviděly, bylo jim jasné, že kamarádit se nebudou. Ale když si jednoho dne Oliva vystřelí ze své sestry a musí se urychleně schovat, přijde jí Kája na pomoc s hůlkou, barvou na obličej a kyblíkem červů. Skončí to průšvihem? Možná. Bude to zábava? Jasně! Seznamte se s Kájou a Olivou, dvěma nejlepšími kamarádkami, které nikdy neměly v plánu se mít rády.
