    Megan is a 13-year-old teenage girl, who realises that she has psychic powers that others do not have. At first, she tried to talk to her mother about them, but with disastrous consequences, so she learned to keep quiet about them. 
    However, some people do offer to help and an animal showed a special friendship, but they were not `alive` in the normal sense of the word. They had passed on. 
    Megan has three such friends: Wacinhinsha, her Spirit Guide, who had been Sioux in his last life on Earth; her maternal grandfather, Gramps and a huge Siberian tiger called Grrr. 
    Wacinhinsha is extremely knowledgeable in all things spiritual, psychic and paranormal; her grandfather is a novice `dead person` and Grrr can only speak Tiger, as one might imagine and most of that, of course is unintelligible to humans. 
    In `Megan Goes on Holiday`, the family goes on holiday abroad, taking Megan for the first time. She becomes besotted with the place. On her return home, she makes a bit of a fool of herself by pretending to be what she is not and showing off. However, her mother and a few others bring her back to reality, and Wacinhinsha gives her an explanation for her recent infatuation with her holiday destination.

    Noah is warned by God that a great flood will be coming on the earth to destroy everything both people and animals because of the wicked giants in the land and countries that have corrupted and perverted it. God instructs Noah to build an ark in order to save the animals, and the people that want to be saved. However, the people mocked him because they have never seen rain, lightning, or witness the sound of thunder. Nevertheless, he gathers all the animals into groups of two, but when it comes to the mighty dinosaurs they don't want to board the ark because they foolishly believe the floods won't be able to destroy them. Will Noah be able to convince them to board the ark or will the dinosaurs be destroyed forever? Listen this amazing audiobook and find out.
