The Categorical Universe of Candice Phee (Hardcover)
$16.99
Special Order (email to check availability)
Description
Candice Phee isn't a typical twelve-year-old girl. She has more than her fair share of quirks, but she also has the very best of intentions and an unwavering determination to make sure everyone around her is happy—which is no easy feat when dealing with a pet fish with an identity crisis, a friend who believes he came from another dimension, an age-old family feud, and a sick mom. But she is on a mission. Her methods might be unique, but Candice will do whatever it takes to restore order to her world and make sure everyone is absolutely, categorically happy again.
About the Author
Barry Jonsberg is a multiple award–winning writer of young adult and middle-grade novels. He lives and teaches in Darwin, Australia.
