Yr 9 - Yr 10.
The witty and poignant account of the activities of Calma and Kiffo, an unlikely pair of Year 10 students. Their cavalier approach to learning is disrupted when a fierce new English teacher, Miss Payne (aka the Pitbull), enters the classroom. ( )

Kiffo and Calma think a teacher is dealing drugs and b/g to stalk her ( )

I enjoyed reading this, although it didn't grab me. The story was interesting, if a little bit predictable, and the characters were tending toward stock-ishness. There were some genuinely touching moments. I am looking forward to reading the sequel.

There were a number of different narrative devices, sample from school assignments, imaginary film scripts, call outs written in second person. I would have preferred less tricks - they were clever but distracting. ( )

An incredibly funny story which, unfortunately contains much too much profanity for me to use in a middle school. The author does a sensational job of using figurative language to paint the hilarious story of Calma and Kiffo, two teens who are convinced that their English teacher, Miss Payne, is a drug dealer. There is a second book called, Am I Right or Am I Right. ( )
