    About this audiobook

    A sizzling young adult novel about Chad, a teenager living near the New Jersey boardwalk who becomes obsessed with the Bozo—the clown who sits above a tank of water, taunting people until they pay a couple of bucks to try to dunk him. But even as he tries to master the slashing humor of the Bozo, Chad finds he also needs to learn humor’s healing power if he is to help his best friend recover from a serious illness.

    Emotionally rich, filled with fascinating detail about life on the Boardwalk. This is David Lubar’s breakthrough novel.

    A Full Cast Audio production.

David Lubar lives with his wife; they have one highly intelligent daughter and three idiosyncratic cats.

      A really sweet book with a great setting and a good premise (I wanted to be the Bozo myself after the first few pages). I have little patience for the angry misunderstood adolescent protagonist, so I found it slow going for bits. But it's a winner. And I love the Jersey Shore.

      Review by: Bozo999 Chad wants to be the Bozo in an amuzement park in New Jersey who insults passerbys and gets them hooked on trying to dunk him. It sounds kinda weird, but it's really good. Review by: SeraLily This is a really awesome book. I loved every bit of its humor. I seriously reccomend it. I'M SERIOUS!
