Book excerpt: At age eleven, Julia Raine and her best friend Lois use a "magic eight ball" to channel the imaginary voice of Mrs. McCracken, a doll who gives advice on topics from romance to interior decoration, when not exiled to a box in the barn. In high school she gets tips from Jannette, who could be "astral-projected to any high school in Paris or New York, welcomed and ushered to the desk situated in the epicentre of the most popular group of girls". In her twenties, Julia is still looking for the magic answers that will make sense of her world and banish her anxieties about work, family and -- most of all -- sex. Magic Eight Ball follows Julia as she wanders into adulthood, while life deals her one surprise after another. From childhood crushes to accidental motherhood to an unexpected love affair with a woman, Julia's story is told with charm, insight and abundant wit.

Download or read book The Playmakers written by Tim Walsh and published by Keys Pub. This book was released on 2004 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fun book that feels like it should accompany a museum exhibition, Walsh's history includes toy timelines (beginning with the Flexible Flyer in 1900); postcards, ads and articles (such as a 1980s Newsweek cover on The Cabbage Patch Craze); and close-up photos of game pieces (including a board from a 1949 version of Candy Land in which a boy has a peculiar line running up his leg, which Walsh supposes might speak volumes to...young polio victims). Centred on toys that sold at least 10 million copies, were invented outside of the major toy companies (so no Mattel Hot Wheels or Hasbro Easy-Bake Oven) and that had significance to the author - a game inventor and 15-year veteran of the toy industry - and his friends, Walsh's account gives the particulars of 75 toys that enchanted American kids from 1900 to the 1990s. Among the playthings, Walsh examined are Lincoln Logs, Monopoly, Barbie, Slip 'n Slide, Mouse Trap, GI Joe and Rubik's Cube. The book's nostalgic feel should appeal to fans of Americana.
