Incontra i Fletcher. Il loro anno sarà pieno di nuove scuole, vecchi amici, un vicino burbero, puzzole affamate, piste di ghiaccio che perdono, recite scolastiche, gatti bagnati e storie spaventose raccontate al buio! C'è Sam, di dodici anni, che è principalmente interessato al calcio, al cibo e al suo telefono; Jax, di dieci anni, entusiasta per la quarta elementare e che pensa che il nuovo vicino sia insopportabile, e non solo a causa della puzzola; Eli, di dieci anni (ma più giovane di Jax), che è entusiasta di iniziare quest'anno alla Pinnacle School, dove tutti sono i più intelligenti; e Frog (non è il suo vero nome), di sei anni, che vuole che tutti in giardino riservino un posto per il suo ghepardo invisibile. Anche Papà e Papa. ATTENZIONE: Questo libro contiene vomito di gatto, pipì di tartaruga e alcuni compiti davvero fastidiosi.

Die besten Ferien der Welt Die vier Fletcher-Boys und ihre zwei Väter freuen sich auf Rock Island, wo die Zeit stehen geblieben ist. Wie jedes Jahr warten dort herrliche vier Wochen auf sie: mit den Fahrrädern durch die Dünen düsen, Krabben jagen, Wellen reiten ... Allerdings sorgen diesmal ein sehr kippeliges Kajak, eine Videokamera, eine neue Eisdiele, eine (vielleicht) schwimmende Katze und nervige Ferien-Nachbarskinder gehörig für Aufregung. Und dann der Schock: Der Leuchtturm, ihr geliebter Abenteuerspielplatz, soll abgerissen werden?! Als die Jungs versuchen herauszufinden, wer und was eigentlich dahintersteckt, kommen sie einem Geheimnis auf die Spur, das sie einen ganzen Sommer lang in Atem hält.
