Gary W Boone knows he was born to a stand up comedian. It is the rest of the kids in the class who think he is a fool.
Then the Floyd Hicks Junior High School Talent Show is announced, and he starts practising his routine non-stop to get it just right. Gary's sure that this will be his big break - he'll make everyone laugh and win the $100 prize money. But when an outrageous surprise threatens to turn his debut into a disaster, it looks as if the biggest joke of all may be on Gary himself.
A brilliant, bright and very funny novel by best selling author of 'Holes' Louis Sachar.
