Matt Whyman Libri

Matt Whyman, scrittore di professione, è uno che ama la vita casalinga e la tranquillità. Peccato che sua moglie Emma, donna in carriera, sia di tutt’altro avviso: a causa di un’infanzia troppo solitaria, predilige di gran lunga il caos di una famiglia molto allargata. Così, oltre a quattro figli, casa Whyman ospita due felini – uno socievole e uno perfido –, un cane che sembra un lupo della steppa e un mucchio selvaggio di galline. Finché uno dei gatti (quello socievole) muore investito da un’auto. Chi arriverà al suo posto? si chiede con terrore Matt. Quando Emma gli manda una mail con l’immagine di due piccolissimi porcellini e il messaggio: “Che carini” seguito da ben tre punti esclamativi, Matt capisce quale sarà il suo destino. In men che non si dica, ecco due baldanzosi minimaialini fare il loro ingresso a casa Whyman. Prima vittima del loro entusiasmo: il divano. È solo l’inizio di una serie di esilaranti vicissitudini, in cui il povero scrittore in cerca di quiete dovrà vedersela con i due diavoletti rosa, senza nemmeno poter dire al resto della famiglia: “O me o loro!” perché la risposta la conosce già- Oink! è un libro tenero e divertentissimo, traboccante di buffe avventure e di amore per gli animali, anche quelli più piccoli, rosa e scatenati. Come Io & Marley , un libro che fa ridere, sorridere e tocca decisamente il cuore.

Sasha Savage is in love with Jack Greenway - a handsome, charming, clever...vegetarian. Which would be acceptable if it weren't for the fact that Sasha's family are very much 'carnivorous', with strong views to boot. Behind the respectable family facade all is not as it seems. Sasha's father Titus rules his clan with an iron fist, and although her mother Angelica never has a hair out of place, her credit card bills are shocking and her culinary skills are getting more...'adventurous' by the day. As for Sasha's demonic brother Ivan? Well, after accidentally decapitating a supermodel in their family bathroom his golden boy image is looking wobbly. To the outsider the Savages might look like the perfect family, but there is more to them than meets the eye. When the too-curious private detective Vernon English starts to dig for darker truths, this tight knit family starts to unravel - as does their sinister and predatory taste in human beings...
