Publisher Description
BECAUSE EVERY KID LOVES TO LAUGH!
The #1 kids' bestseller! Shortlisted in kids' choice awards around the country!
Every kid wants to laugh, but Max is the boy who can make it happen.
He's the class clown, the punch line and he's even volunteered his bottom to be the butt of the joke.
Max is the funny kid ... and he's running for class president.
Poop scandals, stalker ducks, surprise debates, psycho sports teachers, tell-all interviews and the great library vomit-a-geddon are just some of the things in store for Max and his friends at Redhill Middle School this election season.
For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates and WeirDo, FUNNY KID is the hilarious new series from bestselling children's author Matt Stanton.
Praise for FUNNY KID:

'Funny Kid for President is absolutely hilarious. Like many humorous books aimed at primary to middle school students, the jokes fly thick and fast. But don't be fooled into thinking this book is about cheap laughs. Stanton has layered Funny Kid with sophisticated humour and running jokes. It makes for an exceptionally enjoyable and easy read.' TIM HARRIS, author of EXPLODING ENDINGS

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kids who get a kick out of scatological humor and doomed-to-backfire scenarios will find plenty of both in this heavily illustrated series opener from Stanton (This Is a Ball). At its center is a deluded but quick-witted boy named Max and his sidekick, Hugo. The opening line, "Someone has pooped in the storeroom," sets the stage; Mr. Armstrong, a teacher who has it in for Max, blames the mess on him (and forces him to clean it up), despite Max's claims of innocence. When the no-nonsense new principal, Mrs. Sniggles, decides that a class president is the solution to Mr. Armstrong's disorderly classroom, Max vows to win the election, hoping to best his teacher and become the most popular kid in his class "in one simple move." Outlined in thick strokes of black, Stanton's chunky cartoons are integrated throughout the story, with digital drop shadows adding to the paper-doll quality of his flattened characters. It's a love-it-or-hate-it type of story, one that should hit the spot for fans of projectile vomit gags and the like. Ages 8 12.
