The hysterical true confessions
of an unreliable narrator.
Am I Right or Am I Right?
BARRY JONSBERG
CALMA HARRISON IS in love with the handsome checkout guy at Crazi-
Cheep. So stocking the 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 rest of Calma’s life, which is also beginning to resemble a crime
scene: her absent father turns up 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.
“From Australia comes another great piece of YA literature with wit, zing
and depth. Plenty of on-the-spot humor. . . . Readers will laugh, cry and,
without trying, learn.”—Kirkus Reviews
“The book’s greatest strength is its deftly drawn characters. . . . YA readers
will be attracted to the humor, as well as the mystery and drama constantly
surrounding Calma’s life.”—Booklist
Barry Jonsberg lives in Darwin, Australia.
