The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh
by Helen Rutter
€ 9.99
ISBN: 9780702300851
'Very funny, very touching, very truthful - a total delight
to read.' Jacqueline Wilson
'Amazing' Noel Fielding
A laugh-out-loud, against-all-odds triumph of a story: the funniest
debut of 2021
Billy Plimpton is an eleven-year-old boy with a big
dream. He wants to be a stand-up comedian when he grows up: delivering
pinpoint punch-lines and having audiences hang on his every
hilarious word. A tough career for anyone, but surely impossible
for Billy, who has a stammer. How will he find his voice, if
his voice won't let him speak?
The idea for this story came from Helen Rutter's son, who has
a stammer: she wanted to write the book that he would love to
read, starring a child like him.
