(4) 4-6 Temporarily living in Texas, thirteen-year-old Cody uses his gift for humor to sell gags to an aspiring comedian, but must also contend with a bullying cousin and a mystery involving bomb threats at his new school. Limited characterizations and a few holes in the plot make this short novel feel incompletely developed, but the undemanding narrative moves smoothly.
