Can George stand up to the bullying of the Meanie Girls, or will he run away and hide as usual, only to be taunted by all the other dogs at the park? George the Boxer and Mildred the Yorkie are the unlikeliest of friends. One is big and fearful, the other is small and feisty, but together they can take down the town bullies and embark on new, exciting adventures. George and Mildred: The Attack of the Meanie Girls is a story of a friendship that blossoms in the face of fear, bites and barks, and gives George the confidence to stand up for himself and realize that danger does not lurk around every corner, thanks to the fierce determination of two new friends who believe in themselves and each other.AUTHOR BIOGRAPHYLinda Erskine is a dreamer and has lived her life in books and being inspired by them. A graduate of the Humber College School of Journalism, Linda has held positions as editor of trade magazines and community newspapers, but she felt she always had a book in her. This is just one of those books. Inspired by the antics of her boxer beast, Kao, and after an adventure that saw her travel from her native Canada to the wilds of West Lothian, Scotland, Linda wrote the first in the series of the George and Mildred stories to shed light on some of the issues that today's kids have to face. From bullying and standing up for themselves, to realizing that what holds them back is the fear of being themselves - that they are enough, Linda hopes that she has inspired even one person to realize their full potential, in all of their glory.Linda resides in West Lothian, Scotland, in a small miner's cottage with her boxer beast Kao, her extensive library and a slew of family and friends, who continue to inspire her as she embarks on her latest journey.

The saga of the Logan family--made famous in the Newbery Medal-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry--concludes in a deeply fulfilling story, now available in paperback. In her tenth book, Mildred Taylor completes her sweeping saga about the Logan family of Mississippi, which is also the story of the civil rights movement in America of the 20th century. Cassie Logan, first met in Song of the Trees and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, is a young woman now, searching for her place in the world, a journey that takes her from Toledo to California, to law school in Boston, and, ultimately, in the 60s, home to Mississippi to participate in voter registration. She is witness to the now-historic events of the century: the Great Migration north, the rise of the civil rights movement, preceded and precipitated by the racist society of America, and the often violent confrontations that brought about change. Rich, compelling storytelling is Ms. Taylor's hallmark, and she fulfills expectations as she brings to a close the stirring family story that has absorbed her for over forty years. It is a story she was born to tell.

Dear Yootha...That's how people would start. They would write to Yootha about their most intimate problems, so convinced were they of her performance as Mildred in the sitcom 'George and Mildred'. This sexually frustrated, vulnerable yet predatory character had reached such levels of believability, that some were convinced that Yootha would be the one to sort out their worries. "I'm no Marjie Proops darling, but I try to help in my simple way," Looking at Yootha's long career, you wonder where she'd been before her phenomenal success. 'George and Mildred', in which she played alongside Brian Murphy, was one of the most successful TV sitcoms of the Seventies. TV success also saw both actors branching out, achieving record audiences on stage, at summer seasons in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.Where had Yootha come from? What training had she had? What kind of person was she? Most importantly, what went wrong when her success became a problem? All this I attempt to discover in this fascinating insight into her life.REVIEWS"Curran does an excellent job""Dear Yootha... achieves what a good biography ought to do: it paints a human picture of its subject matter""Thorough and absorbing""Commendably researched""Endearing""A compulsive and moving read" "Full of in-depth quotations from those who knew her best, as well as an admirable amount of detail about her personal life and career""Full of contributions from surviving big names in the industry - a valuable addition to the universal story of the pressures of fame and the traps that success inevitably brings"GREG JAMESON - Entertainment-Focus.com 15/11/2014

In Mildred Pierce, noir master James M. Cain creates a novel of acute social observation and devasting emotional violence, with a heroine whose ambitions and sufferings are never less than recognizable. Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for shiftless men, and an unreasoning devotion to a monstrous daughter.
