"For the first time in this audio original, three of the people closest to him are sharing their memories of Russell Tyrone Jones—the man known to the world as Ol' Dirty Bastard.
Ol' Dirty Bastard was the heart and soul of the revolutionary East Coast rap group Wu-Tang Clan. He was an iconic figure with a new way of rapping his verse that changed the face of Hip-Hop. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, when big stars like Puff Daddy and Kanye West were just getting started, Ol' Dirty Bastard was one of the biggest stars in rap. Since his untimely death just before his thirty-sixth birthday in 2004, Ol' Dirty Bastard has continued to be an influence on rap artists.
Written and narrated by his mother Cherry Jones and his bodyguard Jerome Baldwin, with a foreword written and narrated by his manager Jarred Weisfeld, Everybody Loves Dirty presents the true story of Ol' Dirty Bastards short life. Funny, touching and heartbreaking, Everybody Loves Dirty is the audiobook everyone has been waiting to hear—the first true portrait of this legendary figure."
"The beloved author of Because of Winn-Dixie has outdone herself with a hilarious and achingly real love story about a girl, a ghost, a grandmother, and growing up.
It's the summer before fifth grade, and for Ferris Wilkey, it is a summer of sheer pandemonium: Her little sister, Pinky, has vowed to become an outlaw. Uncle Ted has left Aunt Shirley and, to Ferris's mother's chagrin, is holed up in the Wilkey basement to paint a history of the world. And Charisse, Ferris's grandmother, has started seeing a gh ost at the threshold of her room, which seems like an alarming omen given that she is also feeling unwell. But the ghost is not there to usher Charisse to the Great Beyond. Rather, she has other plans-wild, impractical, illuminating plans. How can Ferris satisfy a specter with Pinky terrorizing the town, Uncle Ted sending Ferris to spy on her aunt, and her father battling an invasion of raccoons?
As Charisse likes to say, "Every good story is a love story," and Kate DiCamillo has written one for the ages: emotionally resonant and healing, showing the two-time Newbery Medalist at her most playful, universal, and profound."
