From comedian, actor, rapper and screenwriter Ben Bailey Smith comes the biggest middle grade debut of the year – a blazingly funny, big-hearted story about family, friendship and how far one boy will go to get a laugh. For thirteen-year-old Carmichael Taylor, life is one big joke – in a good way. He just can’t understand why no one else seems to find everything as funny as he does. When Car accidentally delivers a hilarious stand-up routine at the school talent show, targeting his family and his school, it causes a sensation. As fame and fortune beckon, it's up to Car to decide what or who he's willing to risk in pursuit of his dream of fame. A heart-warming and hilarious look at family, friendship and what really matters – perfect for fans of David Baddiel and Frank Cottrell-Boyce.
