New Releases by Stephan Pastis

The debut of a laugh-out-loud illustrated middle-grade adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephan Pastis (Timmy Failure — over 2 million copies sold) and award-winning cartoonist Will Henry (Wallace the Brave), launching a new Masters of the Universe era timed to the 2026 movie event. Porter Avery is just your average boy from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with your average boy problems: he’s got a math test he definitely should be studying for (he isn’t), and a dad who’s making him go to bed (he doesn’t want to). But when a magical malfunction takes Porter from his very everyday attic into the very not-everyday realm of Eternia, he’ll find that problems with homework and helicopter parents pale in comparison to, say, an epic battle between He-Man and Skeletor that may or may not determine the future of the entire planet??! Will the heroes of Eternia rally around their earthside visitor, or will Porter get turned into mincemeat for Skeletor’s pet Panthor sooner than he can say "By the Power of Grayskull?" Find out what happens when boy meets fantastical world in this first installment of the new series: The Adventures of He-Man and Porter.

From the best-selling author of the Timmy Failure books comes a Busytown-inspired middle grade graphic novel series about a quirky town and the misadventures of its residents.

Prepare to get swept up in a tidal wave of hilarity, sarcasm, and atrocious puns courtesy of award-winning Pearls Before Swine cartoonist Stephan Pastis. For the past 20 years, Pearls Before Swine has been one of the most popular and consistently hilarious comic strip in newspapers. This treasury packs in 18 months'' worth of daily comic strips from 2018-2019, including an introduction, essay, and special commentary by the author.

Timmy Failure—the clueless, comically self-confident CEO of a budding detective agency—is back in a hotly anticipated prequel novel about how Timmy became TIMMY (and how he got that red scarf).

A prequel and origin story for hapless child detective Timmy Failure--including how he got his red scarf.

Now an original film on Disney+ “An endearingly pathetic antihero with delusions of greatness. . . . Seldom has failure been so likable — or so funny.” — The Wall Street Journal Take Timmy Failure—the clueless, comically self-confident CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Add his impressively lazy business partner, a very large polar bear named Total, and what you have is Total Failure, Inc. From the offbeat creator of Pearls Before Swine comes an endearingly bumbling hero in a hilarious caper accompanied by a whodunit twist. With perfectly paced visual humor, Stephan Pastis gets readers snorting with laughter, then slyly carries the joke a beat further—or sweetens it with an unexpected poignant moment—making this a comics-inspired and New York Times best-selling story that truly stands apart from the pack.

In the series finale, Timmy Failure and his class create a hilarious film about his life -- just in time for the holidays.

A collection of comic strips mocks the foibles of human nature with the antics of egotistical Rat, clueless Pig, intellectual Goat, and letter-writing optimist Zebra.

Now look what you''ve done: Timmy Failure and his polar bear sidekick, Total, are about to crack the biggest case of his generation, a school competition to find a stolen globe.

Even Rat cracks a smile in this fifth Pearls Before Swine collection tailored for middle-grade readers. Witty, wacky, and occasionally wise, Suit Your Selfie is more kid-friendly fun from the New York Times best-selling author of Timmy Failure.

True to Pearls Before Swine tradition, the latest cartoon collection brims with Stephan Pastis’s cynical humor, sharp wit, and clever commentary. Always together—and sometimes with their fellow funny-page characters—the regular Pearls clan weighs in on everything from modern technology to current events to human nature. All the members of the skewed gang are here as Zebra engages in a never-ending war of neighborly hate with the Crocs. As always, Goat offers a voice of reason amid the ongoing chaos that Pastis creates, either from behind the pen or as a character within the strip itself. Pastis’s latest collection is sure to add to the funny-page phenomenon, giving Pearls fans more of what they know and love: satirical logic and hilarious wit. Includes all cartoons from the collections Breaking Stephan and King of the Comics.

Flip Fiasco – Oeps... is een supergrappig debuut van Stephan Pastis. Een graphic novel voor de jonge fans van de serie Het leven van een Loser van Jeff Kinney. Fiasco is de naam. Flip Fiasco, aangenaam. Ik ben de oprichter, eigenaar en directeur van het beste detectivebureau van het land. Wat zeg ik? Van de hele wereld. Dit boek is een verslag van mijn leven als detective. Elk feitje klopt (grondig gecontroleerd) en de meesterlijke tekeningen zijn van mijzelf. Ooit tekende mijn zakenpartner Fiks – ijsbeer – ze, maar dat leek nergens naar. Stephan Pastis tekende Pearls Before Swine, een grappige strip die in meer dan 650 kranten verscheen en later ook in boeken. Flip Fiasco – Oeps... is zijn eerste kinderboek. Stephan woont in Amerika.
