Synopsis

FROM THE AUTHOR OF NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER, FUNNY KID FOR PRESIDENT!


Being funny is a good gig and it's pretty much the only thing Max Walburt is good at. At least he thinks he's good at it . . .


. . . Max takes being funny very seriously. At home, he is the Chief-Walburt-Entertainer (CWE) and at school, he's the funny kid. So when the Redhill Talent Quest comes to town, Max is confident that his jokes will make everyone laugh, win him the competition and a ten-million-pound book deal. That is until Tumbles the Clown auditions, who everyone thinks is hilarious. But who is the strange clown and why was he hiding in the bush on the day his granddad was kidnapped? With the help of his temporary best friend and life coach, Hugo, will Max solve the mystery of his grandfather's whereabouts and overcome the pressures of fame and entertaining?


For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates and Big Nate, comes FUNNY KID STAND UP, the hilarious sequel in the FUNNY KID series. By bestselling children's author, Matt Stanton.

Reviews

Chloe

This laugh out loud children's novel is bound to crack you up the second it is within your reach! Funny Kid- Stand Up is an intriguing book, welcoming the life of Max Walburt, the average eleven year old, but with a combination of sides to him. For example, he tells the funniest jokes, [well, at least he thinks he does], is a loving brother [sometimes], and is a great best friend. So, when the Redhill Talent Quest comes into town, Max automatically signs up, ready to go. But when Tumbles the Clown thinks it would be an excellent idea to go ahead and ruin his whole act, Max doesn't like not having his say! What's even stranger, is that Max spots Tumbles hiding in a bush near the care home that his old Grandpa had mysteriously disappeared from that exact day. With the help of his temporary best friend, and life coach, Hugo, will Max solve the mystery of his Grandad's whereabouts, and be funny enough to win the talent contest? Read the book to find out! I really enjoyed this story as it brings a sense of humour into the world of books, therefore making it more interesting, because it keeps you laughing page after page. I would recommend Funny Kid to all eager readers, but especially aged 7 to 10 years. Hopefully, after reading this novel, you would love to read the next two books in the series; so watch out for....Funny Kid-For President and Funny Kid-Prank Wars.
