4 6 y separately published work icon It's Not All About You Calma! Barry Jonsberg , ( trans. Luc Rigoureau with title Calma embrouille et debrouille ) Paris : Flammarion , 2007 Z1216959 2005 single work novel young adult humour Calma Harrison is in love. Not just with herself, but also with the handsome checkout guy at Crazi-Cheep. So stocking shelves at the Crazi- Cheep seems like the perfect job - until that annoying customer tries to hold up the store ... And then there's the small matter of the rest of Calma's life, which is fast falling apart: her absent father turns up after five years and wants to 'talk, ' her mother is clearly living a secret second life, and her new best friend is hiding something horrible. Calma is sure she knows exactly what's going on. And clearly her direct, personal intervention is required to make things right. Except . . . if she's wrong. And then her butting in will make everything much, much worse. Am I Right or Am I Right? is a whip-smart, wise-cracking, big-hearted novel about a girl who is learning that things are not always what they seem, and how to start again when you've gotten it all so very wrong (publisher blurb).
