P.I.P.I.


Book Description

The inception of the P.I.P.I was a harmless lark. But Elena Chesterton and her friends soon uncovered a link between the murders of six influential women in Oregon and international plots to unleash Smallpox virus and explode nuclear bombs in major American cities. P.I.P.I. has a double meaning. The women of the Philippine Island-Products Incorporated an ethnic catering business have a few simple goals: making money to fund their cultural dance exhibitions, helping the poor, and spreading good will. But the same women assume roles as Philippine Island Private Investigators to track a sinister quarry through the Philippine archipelago and across the western United States.




The Humiliations of Pipi McGee


Book Description

Award-winning author Beth Vrabel writes with humor and empathy about a girl who wants to shed her embarrassing moments before she leaves middle school behind her. The first eight years of Penelope McGee's education have been a curriculum in humiliation. Now she is on a quest for redemption, and a little bit of revenge. From her kindergarten self-portrait as a bacon with boobs, to fourth grade when she peed her pants in the library thanks to a stuck zipper to seventh grade where...well, she doesn't talk about seventh grade. Ever. After hearing the guidance counselor lecturing them on how high school will be a clean slate for everyone, Pipi--fearing that her eight humiliations will follow her into the halls of Northbrook High School--decides to use her last year in middle school to right the wrongs of her early education and save other innocents from the same picked-on, laughed-at fate. Pipi McGee is seeking redemption, but she'll take revenge, too.




Adventures of Pipi the Pink Monkey


Book Description

Pipi isn't like his four brothers or the other young monkeys living in the forest of Hullabaloo: he has bright-pink fur, a mischievous character and a rebellious streak that lands him into all sorts of scrapes. In this story, an expanded version of Collodi's original tale, we see him lose his tail to an ancient crocodile, end up as a valet to a young master, fall into the hands of flying bandits and become emperor of a tribe of apes, before preparing to set off on a long journey at sea. Collodi wrote this story immediately after Pinocchio, and the little monkey's adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters, with his more celebrated masterpiece. This rediscovered gem of Italian literature is here adapted and expanded by Alessandro Gallenzi.This edition is here presented with illustrations by Axel Scheffler and a section of extra material for young readers.
