Jacky Ha-Ha: My Life is a Joke

Jacky Hart has found a hidden talent in the performing arts, and she's a triple threat onstage! She wants nothing more than to act and sing all summer – but her parents have other plans for her. Jacky reluctantly signs up for a summer job in her resort town of Seaside Heights, New Jersey, where tourists come to enjoy the beach and fun carnival atmosphere.

Now she has serious responsibilities like her job and babysitting her younger sisters, but Jacky longs to perform in the summer stock performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Can she handle all of her important commitments and still have fun with her friends – or will she learn that juggling isn't one of her many talents?

Reviews

A hilarious school story with lots of laughs and a meaty message

—— The School Librarian

Help! I'm a Classroom Gambler displays Pete Johnson's characteristic wit and strong-hold over capturing both the politics and demotic of the classroom . . . The constituent parts of this novel make for a real romp of a read that will leave readers ravenous for more by Pete Johnson

—— Jacob Hope , Achuka

Wonderfully subversive . . . Johnson's own experience as a teacher gives this story of classroom mayhem an extra edge . . . Really funny, clever, exciting and completely draws the reader in

—— Supernanny

Every pre-teen knows that school can be a bit of a bore and Pete Johnson exploits this to the full with a brillant look at what pupils get up to right under teacher's nose - and how they can make amends when it all goes too far
