H is for Happiness

Candice Phee is a relentlessly optimistic and hilariously forthright girl on the cusp of her 13th birthday. Candice's family is in disarray: her mum has been living with depression since the death of Candice's baby sister, while her dad and his brother, Candice's beloved Rich Uncle Brian, are not on speaking terms. As she faces the uncertainties of impending adolescence with the help of her new friend Douglas Benson, Candice hatches a variety of outlandish schemes to make her nearest and dearest happy again.
