A book
about a guy wanting to be a Bozo clown doesn't really sound like the best
book in the world – but if you've ever wanted to look at things from a
different point of view, try getting in a dunk tank, hurling insults at
people, and experiencing life as a Bozo. Chad wants to be that
witty and, yes, sometimes cruel guy that can say whatever he wants without
any consequences. When he meets the new tenant upstairs in his home, he
discovers he's the man behind the makeup - the bozo in the tank.
Chad takes lessons from him and starts to master the skills of wit.
Chad wants to prove to the world and himself that he won't end up a loser
like his dad, who left his mom and him when he was young. So he'll use
his sharp tongue to mask his hurt. When Chad's friend, Jason, acquires
a life-threatening illness, Chad has a theory that laughter is the best
medicine and puts his newly acquired skills to good use.
