About This Book
Sixteen-year-old Calma Harrison is certain she knows what is behind the strange behavior of everyone in her life, and convinced that she is the only one who can fix things, but soon learns just how wrong she is.
Wonderlit Review
Barry Jonsberg's 'Am I Right or Am I Right?' is a verse novel that delves into the mind of 16-year-old Calma Harrison. Calma is convinced she understands the motivations behind everyone's actions, only to discover her own misinterpretations. This book offers a poignant exploration of self-perception, empathy, and the humbling process of growing up. It's ideal for middle school and early high school readers (ages 12-16) who enjoy introspective stories and the unique rhythm of verse. Parents might use this to spark conversations about understanding others and the importance of self-reflection.
