H Is For Happiness - Barry Jonsberg

Where do I start in explaining how much I loved this hilariously quirky and moving story with its beautiful fractured gem of a narrator? How about A is for Awesome.' - Michael Gerard Bauer This isn't just about me. It's also about the other people in my life - my mother my father my dead sister Sky my penpal Denille Rich Uncle Brian Earth-Pig Fish and Douglas Benson From Another Dimension. These are people [with the exception of Earth-Pig Fish who is a fish] who have shaped me made me what I am. I cannot recount my life without recounting elements of theirs. This is a big task but I am confident I am up to it. Introducing Candice Phee: twelve years old hilariously honest and a little ... odd. But she has a big heart the very best of intentions and an unwavering determination to ensure everyone is happy. So she sets about trying to 'fix' all the problems of all the people [and pets] in her life. Laugh-out-loud funny and wonderfully touching H is for Happiness is the film tie-in edition of the acclaimed award-winning novel My Life as an Alphabet.
