DescriptionCandice Phee wants to bring light and laughter to those around her, and somehow she succeeds despite the bizarre mix-ups and the confusion she effortlessly creates. An uplifting comedy-drama from award-winning author, Barry Jonsberg. AwardsWinner, Children's Peace Literature Awards - Older Readers, 2013 Reviews'My Life as an Alphabet is executed with both humour and heart, despite its deceptive simplicity. Candice Phee is pitch-perfect as an unusual mind experiencing the trials of adolescence, with the added difficulties of family conflict. Barry Jonsberg refuses to diagnose her, so we meet her as a person, not a condition, and her literal approach to human complexity makes for hilarious reading. Jonsberg’s touch is light, his approach intelligent, and his themes of love, grief and loyalty are universal.' - Judges's Report Wheeler Centre Author descriptionBarry Jonsberg is the author of The Whole Business with Kiffo and the Pitbull, It's Not All About YOU, Calma!, Dreamrider, Cassie (Girlfriend Fiction) and Being Here. |
