4 6 y separately published work icon It's Not All About You Calma! Barry Jonsberg , ( trans. Janka Panskus with title Alles dreht sich nur um dich ! ) Hamburg : Verlag Friedrich Oetinger , 2008 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).
6 6 y separately published work icon The Whole Business with Kiffo and the Pitbull Barry Jonsberg , ( trans. Janka Panskus with title Die sache mit Kiffo und mir ) Hamburg : Verlag Friedrich Oetinger , 2007 Z1116391 2004 single work novel young adult humour From the moment Miss Payne ("The Hound of the Baskervilles, the English teacher from Hell. The Pitbull!") walks into their classroom, Calma and Kiffo know she will have to go. After doing a bit of, well, teacher stalking, they are amazed to discover her having late-night rendezvous with suspicious associates. Could she be involved in the mob? The drug trade? How fabulous! But the more they work to prove Miss Payne is crooked, the more evidence they find of her innocence. Creeping hell! A teacher this heinous has got to be guilty of something - right? (Publisher blurb, American ed.)
7 15 y separately published work icon The Ice Is Coming Patricia Wrightson , ( trans. Wolf Harranth with title Wirrun zwischen eis und feuer ) Hamburg : Verlag Friedrich Oetinger , 1985 Z862397 1977 single work novel young adult 'Wirrun was a man of the People, the Aborigines of Australia. He was young and educated in the ways of the whites. But when the mountain cried for help, he heard. For the Ninya, the ancient ice-spirits, were seeking to bring a new ice age to the land down under. Together with the Mimi, a rock-spirit from far away, he set out to find the Eldest Nargun, a creature of living rock that had defeated the Ninya in the long-gone past. And with the Power given him by a hero-spirit, he could see and command all the ancient earth-spirits. But the way was long and hard--and the Eldest Nargun was not what he expected.'
