Funny Kid

Being president is no laughing matter.... Especially when Max is forced to run for class president to get even with his psycho teacher, Mr Armstrong. But how can Max possibly hope to win the presidency? He isn't the sportiest, smartest, best-looking or even tallest candidate in the running. And Mr Armstrong is determined to sabotage his campaign at every opportunity. Max now has no choice but to be the candidate his voters want and need...the funny kid!

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 and win him the competition and a 10-million-pound book deal. That is until Tumbles the Clown auditions, whom everyone thinks is hilarious.

Every kid wants to laugh, but Max is the boy who can make it happen. As he and his classmates head off on a camping trip, the new boy, Tyson, decides to play some jokes of his own. Max is the funny kid...and now there's a prank war to be won! Monsters in the lake, smuggling ducks, dig-your-own toilets, capsizing canoes, absolutely not falling in love and beans that give you the runs are just some of the things in store for Max and his friends in this brand-new adventure.
