The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh

by Helen Rutter

Ages 9–12 Reading age 9 Novel Set in school funnywarm

Billy stammers and wants to be a stand-up comedian. Starting secondary school, he keeps a list of jokes and a list of things that go wrong.

A story about children and families, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
