Bookroo's summary
Jake Drake, the class clown, is on a mission to make the unsmiling Miss Bruce laugh. His antics during a spelling bee earn him a glimmer of success, but as his jokes escalate, so does the chaos. Jake soon finds himself in hot water, questioning if his quest for laughter has gone too far. Can he win over Miss Bruce without losing control, or will his comedic charm lead to unexpected consequences? Discover the fine line between humor and havoc in this playful tale of classroom comedy.
From the publisher
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Jake. Jake who? Jake Drake, Class Clown. Miss Bruce is the new student teacher in second grade, and she never smiles. Never. But when Jake cracks up the class during a spelling bee, he sees the tiniest hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, Jake has a new mission in life: to be so funny that even Miss Bruce will laugh! But then things get out of hand, and Jake finds himself in big trouble. Has Jake discovered – too late – that not everybody loves a clown?
