Hanging from trees by her knees, doing handstands . . . for Beatrice Zinker, upside down works every time. She was definitely upside down when she and her best friend, Lenny, agreed to wear matching ninja suits on the first day of third grade. But when Beatrice shows up at school dressed in black, Lenny arrives with a cool new outfit and a cool new friend. Even worse, she seems to have forgotten all about the top-secret operation they planned!
Can Beatrice use her topsy-turvy way of thinking to save the mission, mend their friendship, and flip things sunny-side up?
With several successful Operation Upside missions under their belts, Beatrice, her best friend Lenny, and Sam have made quite a name for themselves--they're the people who remind you there are infinite upsides to being yourself. But suddenly the unthinkable occurs--an imposter delivers an imitation Upside Award that could only be give by Beatrice, Lenny, or Sam!
As Beatrice hunts for clues to the culprit, Lenny suspects one of their own. Will they solve the mystery before Operation Upside becomes a fraud and is ruined once and for all? Or is the situation much bigger than any of them imagines?
This highly illustrated chapter book series that's perfect for emerging readers celebrates a creative, compassionate kid who's fully herself and inspires others to embrace their individuality, again and again.
Lying low isn't exactly Beatrice's strong suit . . . and her classmate Wes desperately needs to be recognized. When Wes's certificate falls into the wrong hands, Beatrice and her best friend, Lenny, must find a way once again, to save Operation Upside-and themselves-from big trouble.
Beatrice Zinker ha sempre dato il meglio di sé pensando a testa in giù.
Ma nella sua vita non è tutto rose e fiori. Gli Zinker sono una famiglia con i piedi per terra ed essere la figlia “al contrario” non è semplice. Per fortuna è in perfetta sintonia con la sua migliore amica Lenny e non vede l’ora di dare il via all’Operazione Sottosopra, un piano segreto per diventare delle vere ninja. Ma al ritorno dalla vacanze estive Lenny è irriconoscibile e non le dà più retta!
Come farà Beatrice a salvare l’operazione segreta e, soprattutto, la sua amicizia? Lotterà, per rimanere se stessa e non perdere mai l’ottimismo.
Is there anything better than a sunny day?
How about a day that’s sunny . . . and birdy?
Or breezy and buzzy?
Blue and wishy?
Cloudy and fishy?
In this enchanting, buoyant picture-book debut from Shelley Johannes, a pair of siblings find the bright side during all the seasons of a year—bringing optimism, curiosity, and wonder to each situation they encounter, no matter the weather.
Il piano Top-secret di Beatrice – l’operazione Lati Positivi – viaggia a pieno regime, ma la seconda missione della nostra eroina “al contrario” si rivela più ardua del previsto: Beatrice combina qualche pasticcio e i certificati di “benemerenza” finiscono alle persone sbagliate!
Per esempio alla severissima maestra Eveline Tamarack o alla schiva e misteriosa Sam Darzi…
