Description: Pearls of Wisdom by Georgette Spelvin, ME Pearl Built-in audience eager for more content: The authors YouTube channel, MEPearlA, has 124,000 subscribers, with some videos amassing hundreds of thousands of views. The author will tap into this built-in, adoring audience to drive sales of her book, which will showcase some of the same characters and advice that have made her videos such a cultural phenomenon.Author with cult following: Author has been celebrated by Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, New York magazine, and more, and media is guaranteed to be interested in this book delightfully inspired by the authors online presence.Mysterious author continues to interest media and internet writ large: The enigmatic, eccentric nature of Pearl (the squirrel deity) and Georgette Spelvin (her human caretaker and YouTubes "Possum Lady") has given these characters a certain cult status. Combined with the Reddit boards dedicated to finding the true identity of Georgette Spelvin and devoted followers writing to Pearl for advice on her website through the years, loyalty to the cult of Pearl and Georgette has proved enduring; this lasting intrigue speaks favorably to the marketability of the book.Unexpected addition to a successful genre:Pearls of Wisdom is the latest entry in the eternally popular category of books that merge animal humor with spiritual humor, appealing to the same large market as The Tao of Pooh (Penguin, 1983, 430,000 RTD), A Sloths Guide to Mindfulness (Chronicle Books, 2018, 24,110 RTD), and The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy (HarperCollins, 2018, 56,370 RTD). But while these books feature conventional characters and well-known spiritual traditions, this is the first book of its kind to feature underrepresented (but beloved) creatures and an eccentric, cheeky approach to mysticism to speak to a forward-thinking, satire-hungry audience.Playful aesthetic of package makes book a unique visual treat: With the same attention to glamour, oddity, and whimsy that has made ME Pearl a sensation online, Pearls of Wisdom will immediately surprise and intrigue readers, utilizing highly designed spreads rich with full-color photographs and innovative layouts. Emphasizing absurdity, irony, and mystery, the package will delight fans of Twin Peaks, fantasy, and farce.Untapped selling potential of underdog animal stars: According to Marie Claire ("Raccoons and Possums are the Internets New Favorite Animals," 2019) and the New York Times ("The Cutest Animal on Instagram is Probably in Your Trashcan," 2019), "trash" animals including possums and squirrels are the new "verminfluencers," drawing millions of followers and mass fandoms once relegated only to kittens, goats, and llamas. Despite the surging interest in these adorable, eccentric critters, this is the first book to give them a starring turn-tapping into the zeitgeist and meeting the desires of a growing audience. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Pearl de Sagesse de Sabaduria de Wisdom de Tout, also known as Pearl de Wisdom or ME Pearl, is an all-knowing, all-powerful squirrel deity and an internet sensation. Pearl lived for twelve years in Southern California under the care of Georgette Spelvin, known to Pearl as Pink Mama, an oddly sentimental witchy woman and licensed wildlife rehabilitator. In captivity, Pearl gained omniscience by gnawing her way through most of the Merriam-Webster English dictionary and bits of the Larousse Spanish and French and by using her seven senses to absorb vast amounts of information (the rest she makes up). The very model of a modern psychic squirrel, Pearl ascended to the heights of psychic prowess, surpassing all other animals, people, and plants. After her death, Pearls mission became to aggrandize herself through religion, politics, social media, cult formation, charitable contributions, and syndicated advice columns, as the divine Pearl fully expects anyone who comes in contact with her to benefit beyond their wildest dreams. Using Georgette as her mouthpiece and conduit, she continues her work as a prophet online by providing sage life advice for the masses on her website MEPearl.com and through the YouTube channel MEpearlA, where she has more than 124,000 subscribers and shares videos relating to the proper care and keeping of possums and provides a wealth of life advice. Pearl and Georgette have been celebrated in a wide range of media, including New York magazines "The Cut," Messy Nessy, BuzzFeed, Jezebel, KQED, AV Club, Oddity Central, Comedy Centrals Tosh.0, and Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld. Her uncredited videos have appeared on Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Pearls spirit, channeled through Georgette, resides in Astralburg, Etheria.Georgette Spelvin is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator specializing in small mammals. She is married to artist and front man Royce van Oyster, who capably assists in the operation of her complex animal sanctuary. Georgette worked as a performance artist, professional masseuse, veterinary technician, dual diagnosis counselor on the psychiatric unit of a major metropolitan hospital, and the resident storyteller of an International Cultural Center, before her body, mind, and spirit were entirely usurped by a willful little squirrel. Georgette resides with the spirit of Pearl in Astralburg, Etheria.

This absurd guide from an ascended dead squirrel is sure to amuse those seeking a diversion from these equally strange times." -- Publishers Weekly Excerpt from Book Georgettes Welcome Hello and welcome to our world. What an extraordinary experience for us to have you here. Hang in for the duration. Youll be glad you did. This book is coauthored by myself, Georgette Spelvin, and a ferociously fun and fabulous little squirrel, Pearl de Wisdom. Were used to having guests for an afternoon now and then. Sometimes they stay late. Sometimes they leave early, sometimes through the bathroom window. Theres no accounting for taste. The advantage of short visits is that you can shove whats unsightly under the bed, metaphorically speaking. With longer visits, like this book, youre going to need some of that stuff, and retrieving it can be dodgy. Dont misunderstand, we want you here. Very much. Especially Pearl Squirrel, who has no shame and is always on the prowl for fresh blood. Dont be alarmed. Thats just one of her colorful phrases. Let me tell you about Pearl, who, for better or worse, is my muse. Early on, Pearl developed an avid interest in world events and walnuts. She cared about art, literature, history, hickory, high finance, philosophy, filberts, anthropology, paranormal psychology, and peanuts. Pearl excels in all forms of academia and macadamia. It would be to your advantage to make nice with Pearl. When each of us passes through the veil to the other side, its entirely possible that shes right and we pass directly to her. I hope not, but il faut faire attention. Shes a noxious little twit and can be vindictive if not appeased. Dont be alarmed. Forewarned is forearmed, and thats what this book is all about. So, congratulations on acquiring it. Pearls Welcome Congratulations! You have been deemed worthy to enter, explore, and be exploited in the wonderful world of ME, Pearl de Wisdom, the one and only ascended dead squirrel. You only need one. This is the world of "Preposterosity," and youll need to remind yourself of that frequently. Ive been alternately characterized as saint, goddess, fuzzy wuzzy widdle wodent, and purveyor of the best damn snake oil on the market. Take a moment to relax and bask in gratitude. Imagine soft, soothing music playing on K-YOU radio. The best news youll get today, other than if your blood tests come back and you got away with your hedonistic lifestyle, is that Pearl loves you. The biggest surprise youll get comes midway through this book when youll discover that you love Pearl too. Such a big lovefest. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Time to open your mind and broaden your beliefs. Wider. Broader. No, more. Cmon, just say yes. Yes, I know it hurts but push through. You can do it and it will be worth it. Thats the ME Pearl promise. Forget "suspension of disbelief " because, on my honor as a dead squirrel deity, everything you are about to read is true. It actually happened, or will happen, or could happen if you play your cards right. For your convenience, we sell decks of playing cards, dice, and other assorted games of "chance" (haha hahaha) at our online store. Do yourself a favor and look it up. We at ME Pearl consider gambling a sacred ritual since, before ME, all of creation was just one big crap shoot. Did you find that indelicate? Oh, grow up! Work with ME, people. Im trying to lull you into a true sense of security where you feel that everything will be just fine. Like the Petrojvic Blasting Company. This is Truth as youve never known it. Nowhere else can you change so many planes and never go near an airport. Fasten your seat belts, friends: its going to be a bumpy read.
