Dogs Don't Tell Jokes

Publisher's synopsis:

Gary W. Boone knows he was born to be a stand up comedian. It is the rest of the kids in the class who think he is a fool. Then the Floyd Hicks Junior High School Talent Show is announced, and he starts practising his routine non-stop to get it just right. Gary's sure that this will be his big break - he'll 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.

Book review:

... a funny, yet true to life portrayal of those difficult teenage years.
