“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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laugh-out-loud funny and wonderfully touching, My Life as an Alphabet <\/em>is a delightful novel about an unusual girl who goes to great lengths to bring love and laughter into the lives of everyone she cares about.” (Allen and Unwin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love the style of this text – with each chapter presenting a different aspect of Candice’s life linked to a letter of the alphabet. We begin with A and work our way right through to the letter Z. This would be such a great task for students. What would they write about for the letter A, B, C….<\/p>\n\n\n\n Me? <\/p>\n\n\n\n My A chapter would focus on ‘adventure’ and my trip to Hungary and a side detour I took on my own to visit y friend Kerry in Switzerland! <\/p>\n\n\n\n B…would centre on the Aussie bush and my connection to Howe’s Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What would your students write about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listen to our podcast With this Book We Can – My Life as an Alphabet <\/em>to explore how this book can be brought to life in your classroom or Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
