Molly and Bear go on a family camping trip in this second book in the Molly and the Bear middle grade graphic novel series based on the beloved comic strip “Bear with Me” by Bob Scott. Molly and her family are excited about their annual summer camping trip. Well, except Molly’s dad, who didn’t want Bear to come. Molly would have thought her 800-pound bestie would be right at home in the woods, but the scaredy bear is terrified of campfires, rafting, spooky sounds that come from the woods at night, and most of all, other bears. Still, Molly, is determined to make sure this trip brings her dad and Bear closer together. She hatches a series of plans to make her dad see how wonderful Bear truly is. But when Bear accidentally attracts other (wild) bears to the family’s cabin, that may be a bigger disaster than even Molly can fix.

Based on the beloved comic strip “Bear with Me” by Bob Scott, this lighthearted odd couple middle grade graphic novel is about a girl and her very best friend: an 800-pound scaredy-bear! When Bear wanders into eleven-year-old Molly’s life, she knows she’s just met her new bestie. Loyal, sweet, inquisitive—and terrified of almost everything—Bear makes a great new friend. And he’s not scary at all! But try telling that to the rest of the world. Molly eventually convinces her mom and dad to let Bear stay with them, but showing everyone else that Bear isn’t dangerous (not to mention assuring Bear that he isn’t in constant danger!) is going to take some work. Lucky for Bear, Molly doesn’t give up easily.

Die Kultserie von Charles M. Schulz bekommt Weihnachten 2015 nicht nur einen Animationsfilm spendiert, der schon jetzt groß beworben wird, sondern trumpft bereits mit neuen Abenteuern in Comicform auf! Sei es, dass Lucy tierisch von dem Weihnachtsmusikgedudel genervt ist und das auch alle wissen lässt, sei es, dass Snoopy und die Rasselbande erneut ihrem Lieblingssport Baseball nachgehen oder sei es, dass man einen kleinen Zeichenkurs mit auf den Weg bekommt, um selbst den perfekten Charlie Brown zu Papier zu bringen. Die bunte Mischung aus nagelneuen Kurzgeschichten und den klassischen Comicstrips von Charles M. Schulz zeigt einmal mehr, warum die Peanuts von Millionen von Fans weltweit so geliebt werden.

Sie sind zurück ... die Peanuts! "Was wohl im Weltall so los ist?", fragen sich Charlie Brown und seine Freunde und machen sich kurzerhand mit Laserpistolen bewaffnet für den Raketenstart ins Unbekannte bereit ... außer Charlie. Der will kein Astronaut sein, sondern viel lieber die Invasion der Marsbewohner anführen. Was ihm vielleicht sogar gelingen würde, wäre da nicht Snoopy, der ihm ständig mit seinem knurrenden Magen dazwischenfunkt. Doch der eigenwillige Beagle sieht sich bald schon mit einer eigenen Mission konfrontiert, die ihm, dem selbsternannten Fliegerass, wie ein Flug zum Mond ohne Rückfahrschein vorkommt: Sein liebster Fressnapf liegt drüben, jenseits der Hecke, in der terra incognita ... bei der Nachbarskatze! Als auch noch Woodstock verschwindet, gibt es für Snoopy keine Wahl mehr: Anschnallen, Triebwerke an und los! Die von Vicki Scott geschriebenen und skizzierten sowie von Paige Braddock gezeichneten neuen Abenteuer mit Charlie Borwn, Linus, Peppermint Patty und - natürlich - Snoppy stellen die einzigen aktuell von "Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates" genehmigten Peanuts-Geschichten dar, die nicht vom Schöpfer selbst auf Papier gebracht wurden.

Die Peanuts-Bande ist zu einem Besuch im Sommercamp aufgebrochen und nach ein paar Tagen des ganz normalen Campalltags steigen alle ins Rennen, wollen Wildwasserchampion werden. Im Kampf mit heimtückischen Stromschnellen, wilden Tieren und gemeinsten Grobianen eines rivalisierenden Camps, machen die Teams sich auf zur Ziellinie. Zur allgemeinen Belustigung stellt Charlie Brown sich als Anführer auf und Snoopy stürzt sich in ein Leben in der freien Natur – was kann da schon schief gehen? Basierend auf der geliebten Peanuts-Bande um die Originalcharaktere des Charles M. Schulz, adaptiert von Jason Cooper und illustriert von Robert Pope, sollte auch dieser süße Sammelband von keinem Peanuts-Fan verpasst werden!
