‘The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh’ by Helen Rutter
It was another teenage novel.
Billy Plimpton wants to be a stand-up comedian, but he thinks something is stopping him: his stammer.
We follow Billy has he deals with bullies, a dying grandma and girls. The book culminates in an end of year talent show that doesn’t go to plan.
If I was an 11 or 12 year old, I’d love the book!
Also, each chapter starts with a joke. Nice.
The past, the present and the future walked into a bar.
It was tense.
