Dogs Don't Tell Jokes

Why did the guy eat two dead skunks for breakfast? Because the dead ones don't squeal when you stick the fork in. Gary W Boone knows that he was born to be a stand-up comedian. It is everyone else who doubts him! Then his school has a talent contest and Gary is sure that this is his big chance - he will make everyone laugh and win the $100 prize money. But when an outrageous surprise threatens to turn his debut into a disaster, it looks as if the biggest joke of all may be on Gary himself. A quirky and funny (even when the jokes are bad) book by the best-selling author of Holes, Louis Sachar.
