Jerry Copperpot and the Magician's Mashup

The Jerry Copperpot Series, Book 1

De: Mike Goble

Narrado por: Mike Goble

Something is wrong with Jerry Copperpot's world. For one thing, he just celebrated his 11th birthday...again! And Magicternia, the school where he studies card tricks and stage magic, is full of wacky characters with mostly British accents...which doesn't make sense either. After he finds a book in the school library about a boy sorcerer named Harvey Totter whose world strangely resembles his own, things get even weirder!

Join Jerry and his friends, Don ("It's Don, not Ron!") Weazer, and Persephone Stranger, as they embark on a quest beneath the school to find One-Eyed Willis, a missing rock guitarist, who may hold the key to saving the world from a strange phenomenon known as The Everything. Will they defeat the evil wizard Mulderscull and his motorcycle gang, the Dead Meaters? Can they survive getting past the Whomping Angels? Will Don get to play the sport of Quitt-Itch without breaking out in a rash? And just what are MIDI-Chondrians, and what are they doing inside of Jerry's cells? Find out all of this and more in this metafictional nostalgic pop-culture parody mash-up of intergalactic proportions!

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Oh my gosh! It's so funny! I loved it...Incredibly creative and unique, and the spoofs and pokes at all the cultural cliches and icons was brilliant. I was laughing throughout.” (Chas Hathaway, musician and author)

"...clearly Mike Goble has put a lot of thought and work into this, and it shows." (J. W. Braun, author)

irreverent

since I haven't read Harry Potter I don't have much to say about the parody part but I found some humor in it anyway. there are illusions to many genres of science fiction and fantasy so you don't have to be a Harry Potter nerd.

it really struck me when the writer broke the fifth, fourth wall is it? To talk to that little annoying voice in your head that says give up is don't try. more inspirational than a lot of books that set out to be inspirational.
