Wee Waa and the Outback Roo by Jennifer Miller Pdf

Wee Waa and The Outback Roo is an adventure story set in the Outback of Australia, about a young kangaroo named Roo. But you see this isn't your average adventure story, and Roo isn't your average kangaroo. Born with an unusually long tail, Roo has endured years of relentless teasing and torment from his fellow kangaroo tribe, he knows his only option is to run away. There is nothing more Roo desires than the respect of his tribe. He decides the best way to prove his worth is to attempt to cross the Valley of the Winds, a place feared by all creatures of the Outback and for good reason. Here Roo must face the first, and one of the most frightening challeges he will face along the way...Wanambi (a giant and powerful snake). Roo's journey quickly turns into much more than he bargained for. What he thought would be a short journey to prove himself, turns into far more than he could have ever imagined. Wee Waa and The Outback Roo is a story of self acceptance, courage and everlasting friendship.

Worth Fighting For by Lisa Niemi Swayze Pdf

Lisa Niemi and Patrick Swayze first met as teenagers at his mother's dance studio. He was older and just a bit cocky; she was the gorgeous waif who refused to worship the ground he walked on. It didn't take long for them to fall in love. Their thirty-four year marriage -- which they explored together in The Time of My Life -- was a uniquely passionate partnership. Now, for the first time, Lisa will share what it was like to care for her husband as he battled Stage IV pancreatic cancer, and will describe his last days when she simply tried to keep him comfortable. She writes searingly about her grief in the aftermath of Patrick's death, and candidly discusses the challenges that the past fourteen months without him have posed. But while this is an emotionally honest and unflinching depiction of illness, death, and loss, it is also a hopeful and life-affirming exploration of the power of the human spirit. Lisa shows that no matter how dark the prospect of another day may seem, there are always reserves of strength to call upon, and the love shared between two people will never truly die.

Make That Call Now! by Paul Lucas Pdf

Pot-bellied Joe Kagan, the buffoonish manager of a Cheapmart discount store, unwinds from his late shifts with some television—which at that time of night means infomercials. Seduced by claims of “amazing” products and “easy payments,” Joe soon finds himself deep in debt. Sammy Thieu—a Vietnamese immigrant turned infomercial pitchman who surrounds himself with scantily-clad women and other accoutrements of wealth—entices viewers of his infomercials with stories of the fast fortunes to be made in real estate. Desperate, Joe registers for Sammy’s seminar—leading him on a series of ludicrous misadventures. Interspersed throughout the novel are descriptions of the ridiculous and outrageous infomercials Joe and others watch on TV, such as “The Psychic Support Hotline,” in which a washed-out ’70s pop singer assures viewers, “All you need is a credit card and a willing suspension of disbelief!” and “WhiffTrim,” in which sniffing a piece of plastic is touted as a legitimate strategy for weight reduction. Make That Call Now! is the laugh-out-loud story of one misfit’s journey through the tacky world of TV infomercials.

Smile, Particularly in Bad Weather by Prudence Black Pdf

Air hostesses took to the skies in the 1930s, proud and excited to have the most glamorous job in the world, barely looking over their shoulders as they boarded aircraft. Air travel had created a new type of modern workplace - this was a job like no other - filled with adventure, shiny new technology and work that was thrilling, demanding and exhausting. Young women flocked in droves to be measured, weighed and squeezed into snappy uniforms. Smile, Particularly in Bad Weather tells a story about the development of this pioneering profession. It describes the shift from the 1930s, when the girl-next-door took to the air with a great degree of bravado, through to the 1960s and the 'coffee, tea or me?' stereotype where airlines sexualised the air hostess as a point of marketing difference, then on to a crucial period where the air hostess fought back, no longer wanting to be stereotyped nor discriminated against in terms of fair working conditions. This job shaped working women to become something more, it tested their independence, it encouraged self-enhancement and sophistication and it took them to places they hadn't dreamt about.

The Peculiar Case of the Missing Mondrian by K.J.Heritage Pdf

Imagine if your life was spent at the mercy of coincidence… A missing multi-million-pound painting, an insistent ex who won’t take no for an answer, and a ruthless media Baron who always gets his way. What could possibly go right? Serial life avoider and semi-professional layabout, Jim Riven, is not particularly good at anything, unless lying in bed all day, ignoring his front door and his phone, and then going down the pub every evening, could be described as a life skill. But Jim Riven did have one particular talent—or what he referred to as ‘his curse’—that involved unnecessary and unwanted coincidences, or ‘not so serendipitous happenchances’ as he also liked to call them. Happenchances that had dogged his life ever since he could remember. When Jim Riven’s ex-girlfriend, a rather spoilt society girl and daughter of all round international media rogue, Roo Osbourne, turns up unexpectedly one morning to elicit his help in finding a stolen painting by the grandfather of modern art, Piet Mondrian, Jim Riven’s life is turned upside down. And, for Jim Riven, upside down was not the right way up at all. And so started a series of the most startling coincidences, placing him at the centre of a fascinating and complex mystery.
