Download or read book Wanda the Psychic Wombat written by Victoria Sayeg and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wanda is the last psychic wombat on Earth, and she is struggling to run her fortune-telling business. Desperate for an assistant, Wanda places an ad in the paper, yielding her such applicants as Joe, a hillbilly opossum who thinks he can probably be a psychic medium if he cuts back on the glazed donuts, and Jack, an energized rabbit with a large, TV-game-show-host personality but absolutely no clairvoyant certainty. Her skeptical sisters are of no help either-- her parents roll their eyes and wish she were a doctor, and the Traveling Institute of Psychic Detection Services, LLC., shows up just in time to make a complete mockery of her life's work with their phony Telekinetic Telephone (patent pending) and Sixth Sense Shooter 6000 (batteries not included). As if Wanda's day couldn't get any worse, the mayor announces that she now needs a psychic license to do business within the city limits! With nothing left to do, Wanda considers selling her business to some shady-looking businesspeople who are planning to open another 24-hour Floormart location-- after all, what could be better than buying umbrellas, underwear and basketballs in bulk?! The applicants would even be hired on the spot! While looking for a place to clear her mind, Wanda meets a mysterious wombat sleeping on the bench outside her shop. He seems to "know" exactly how she is feeling, and he has some visions of his own about these Floormart people that send chills up his fur. With the deed to her shop in hand, Wanda rushes into the town hall meeting to discover that things aren't always as they seem and that, with a little help from her friends, she just may be able to change what's in the cards.

Download or read book Bob Marley written by Chris Salewicz and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journalist’s access to the music icon gives this account an “authenticity that sets the book apart from other biographies about the man and the legend” (Steve Richards, The Independent). The man who introduced reggae to a worldwide audience, Bob Marley was a hero figure in the classic, mythological sense. From humble beginnings, with talent and religious belief his only weapons, the Jamaican recording artist applied himself with unstinting perseverance to spreading his prophetic musical message across the globe. In 1980, on tour, Bob Marley and the Wailers played to the largest audiences a musical act had ever experienced in Europe. Less than a year later, Marley would die, only thirty-six years old. Sales of Marley’s albums before his death were spectacular; in the years since he died, they have been phenomenal. Chris Salewicz interviewed Bob Marley in Jamaica in 1979. Now, for the first time, in this thorough, detailed account of Marley’s life and the world in which he grew up and which he came to dominate, Salewicz brings to life not only the Rastafari religion and the musical scene in Jamaica, but also the spirit of the man himself. Interviews with dozens of people who knew Marley and have never spoken before are woven through the narrative as Salewicz seeks to explain why Marley has become such an enigmatic and heroic figure, loved by millions all over the world. “As gritty, entertaining, and starry-eyed as Marley himself.” —Publishers Weekly “The definitive account of the man and the myth.” —Steve Richards, The Independent “[Salewicz] invades and illuminates Marley’s privacy more effectively than previous biographers.” —Robert Sandall, The Sunday Times (London)
