John Grogan Libri

Marley è un Labrador, grosso, forte e tutto pazzo, che si mette sempre nei guai. Vive assieme a John e Jenny, la giovane coppia che lo ha adottato e che lo ha visto crescere a dismisura da adorabile cucciolo quale era. Un vero uragano in casa che non sta mai fermo. Nemmeno quando davanti ha una porta a vetro. E poi, ruba le mutande, rovescia i secchi della spazzatura, sbava sugli ospiti, e ingurgita qualsiasi cosa gli capiti a tiro... persine le collane. Un vero maleducato. Ma Marley ha anche un cuore d'oro. La sua lealtà è infinita e la sua allegria contagiosa: per la famiglia è un esempio di amore e di fedeltà. Queste sono le sue avventure e la storia di come ha cambiato la vita di tutti. Questo è l'adattamento per ragazzi del libro "Io & Marley" dello stesso autore. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

The story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans.--From publisher description.

Mummy, Daddy, Cassie and Baby Louie welcome Marley, their new labrador puppy, into their family. But Marley doesn't stay a tiny puppy for long. He grows and grows, and the bigger Marley gets, the bigger trouble he gets into. Until, one day, Marley goes too far. Will Marley's family have to find him a new home?"

Follows the life story of an exuberant Labrador retriever that gets into perpetual trouble and experiences a range of inspiring adventures

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewelry. Obedience school did no good—Marley was expelled. Neither did the tranquilizers the veterinarian prescribed for him with the admonishment, "Don't hesitate to use these." And yet Marley's heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple's joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night. Marley shut down a public beach and managed to land a role in a feature-length movie, always winning hearts as he made a mess of things. Through it all, he remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.

Meet Marley, a yellow furball of a puppy who quickly grows into a large, rowdy Labrador retriever. Marley is always getting into trouble, whether he is stealing underwear or crashing through doors. But those who know and love Marley accept him as a dog like no other. He brings joy to his family and teaches them what really matters in life.

A reader adaptation of the story of Marley, considered the world's "worst dog," and all of the adventures he has with his human family. Includes activites and a word list at the end of book.

Following the phenomenal success of MARLEY & ME, John Grogan's memoir is a warm and moving tribute to the power of family and love which will delight John's fans and has all the ingredients to become the same word-of-mouth bestseller

When Marley's family gets angry at him, Marley runs away from home. Who knew one little dog could get into such big trouble? Will Marley's family find him?

In Vegas Die, the best stereotypical Sin City characters and events pop up: the imploding casino, the buxom stripper, the nerdy card counter, super star twins, the Elvis impersonator, the Graffiti Vigilante, and associated corpses, immolated, shot, sliced, and diced.

Svazek obsahuje zkrácené verze čtyř úspěšných románů různých žánrů od světových autorů, doplněné stručnými informacemi o jejich tvůrcích. Prvním románem je příběh bývalého vojenského vyšetřovatele Jacka Reachera, který se postaví na stranu spravedlnosti, když ho najme záhadný pan Lane, aby vystopoval únosce jeho ženy a dcery.

Oběťmi jsou členové rodiny německého lékaře, což vyvolává vzpomínky na události druhé světové války.
