Funny Kid - Triple the Laughs

This volume brings together the first three books in Matt Stanton’s Funny Kid series, following the misadventures of Max, a boy who desperately wants to be the class clown but often finds that his attempts at humour backfire in unexpected ways. Across school elections, talent quests, and everyday classroom chaos, Max’s voice-driven narration highlights the awkwardness and exhilaration of primary school life, capturing the perspective of a kid who would rather make people laugh than follow the rules.[6]

Written in a punchy, highly visual style with plenty of illustrations and gag-driven set pieces, the collection is pitched at readers who may be moving on from beginner chapter books but still appreciate short chapters and strong comedic momentum. Themes of friendship, embarrassment, resilience, and testing the boundaries of acceptable behaviour thread through the stories, making the omnibus appealing for children who enjoy humorous, character-led contemporary fiction.[6]
