My Life As an Alphabet [Paperback] Jonsberg, Barry

Meet Candice Phee, a brilliantly quirky twelve-year-old who sees the world through her own wonderfully literal lens. Barry Jonsberg's award-winning novel is told through Candice's alphabetically-organised chapters – from A for Ape to Z for Zoologist – as she navigates friendship, family grief, and the beautiful complexity of being different. This is one of those rare books that makes you laugh out loud while quietly breaking your heart. Candice's voice is unforgettable: honest, funny, and deeply moving. Perfect for anyone who's ever felt like they don't quite fit the mould, or anyone who loves characters that burrow straight into your heart and stay there.
