For all fans of A Street Cat Named Bob, this Sunday Times bestseller is truly a cat to be reckoned with.

Tom Michell, mladý učiteľ angličtiny, zažíva v poperónovskej Argentíne nečakané dobrodružstvo. Nebolo to ale odvážne spoznávanie latinskoamerických krajín, na ktoré sa toľko tešil. Jeho život zmení smer, keď počas výletu v Uruguaji zachráni tučniaka špinavého od ropy a dechtu, ležiaceho na pobreží plnom mŕtvych vtákov. Očistí ho a chce ho vrátiť do mora, kam patrí. Tučniak s tým však nesúhlasí. V tom momente sa začína ich spoločná cesta. Keď sa vráti do školy s tučniakom, všetci sa o nich dozvedia a Juan Salvador sa dostane do centra pozornosti – bude z neho maskot školského tímu, dôverník domácej, spoluhostiteľ Tomových party a inštruktor plávania. Napriek ťažkým časom perónistickej vlády, hrozivej ekonomike a politickým bojom v Argentíne, Juan Salvador všetkých okolo seba rozveseľuje. Michell dal tučniakovi meno Juan Salvado, čo znamená zachránený – napokon sa však ukáže, že práve Juan Salvado zachránil Toma Michella.

She thought her life was over, but it hadn't even started . . . When Margot Delacroix dies at forty-two years old, she is sent back to earth as a guardian angel - to herself. Renamed Ruth, she is forced by divine mandate to re-experience and record her biggest mistakes and fiercest regrets from the beginning of her life to her untimely death. Forced from the moment of her birth to witness the cogs of fate and the stuttering engine of free will, Ruth sets out to change the course of her life, and, ultimately, to prevent her premature death. When she realises that the reasons behind her teenage son's descent into drugs and murder lay within her own actions as Margot, she makes a pact with a demon - she will give up her place in Heaven in exchange for the opportunity to save her son from his fate. But the changes she makes result in consequences no one could expect...
