Sinopsis

“If you enjoyed Jan Karon’s Mitford series, I think you’ll love the Dearest Dorothy series” (Christian Fiction Reviewer).   On the outskirts of the pastoral Illinois town of Partonville, Illinois, eighty-seven-year-old Dorothy Wetstra lives on her farm, venturing out to drive around in her 1976 Lincoln Continental—affectionately dubbed “The Tank”—play bunco with her pals, or grab a stool at Harry’s counter, where she can stay on top of the town’s latest shenanigans (most of which she is responsible for).   But when a visitor comes to town with a proposition, Dorothy finds herself faced with a decision that could change her beloved town, and her life. Before long, her gift for shaking things up may come in handy . . .   This is the first in the delightful small-town series starring “the plucky 80-something grandma who’s a demon at the wheel” (Publishers Weekly).

    What can you do when the world is pushing you over the edge? More than you think. 
    For some of us, it's the automated voice that answers the phone when we'd rather talk to a real person. For others, it's the fact that Starbucks insists on calling its smallest-sized coffee "tall." Or perhaps it's those pesky subscription cards that fall out of magazines. Whatever it is, each of us finds some aspect of everyday life to be particularly maddening, and we often long to lash out at these stubborn irritants of modern life.  
    In Life's Little Annoyances Ian Urbina chronicles the lengths to which some people will go when they have endured their pet peeves long enough. We meet the junk-mail recipient who returns unwanted "business reply" envelopes weighted down with sheet metal, so the mailers will have to pay the postage, and the woman, fed up with the colleague who kept helping himself to her lunch cookies, who replaces them with dog biscuits that look like biscotti. And we revel in the seemingly endless number of tactics people use to vent their anger at telemarketers, loud cellphone talkers, spammers, and others who impose themselves on us. 
    A celebration of the endless variety of passive aggressive behavior, Life's Little Annoyances will provide comfort and inspiration to everyone who has ever gritted his teeth and dreamed of sweet retribution against the slings and arrows of outrageous people.A Macmillan Audio production.

    An original novel, full of contagious humor. A series of funny stories, all based on 100% real pranks and mishaps. Dozens of original pranks and jokes. 
    "SOMEBODY STOP FELIX! - Episode 1 - Don't Try This At Home", the first volume of the series, is a comic confession, written and illustrated for kids and teenagers, but also for grown-ups who still feel young.  
    In this first volume of the series, Felix (together with his good friends Max and Alex) suddenly finds himself in a summer camp, sent there by his parents. What he's doing here is what he knows best: he's making a fool of himself by getting into the craziest situations, he's playing pranks (pretty nasty ones) on other fellow campers, or he's simply annoying everyone. Anyway, it's the kind of tricks you definitely haven't heard of before!  
    Author's note: Some of the pranks in this book really existed—I really did it, together with a good friend, long time ago. We've been warned at the time that we'll get punished by God (!), but we replied that we're absolutely sure God has a great sense of humor, so we're safe. I'm sure these stories will also be appreciated by all you smart and cool people out there!

The book interweaves a sensitive and realistic exploration of Dr. Wortle’s moral dilemma with a humorous look at small-town gossip and--of course--a romance involving the doctor’s beautiful young daughter.
