Justin Fisher Declares War
by James Preller
In third grade, Justin slipped and fell in the cafetorium, dumping spaghetti all over himself. At that moment, he knew he had a choice to make: be embarrassed and slink off to be laughed at OR turn it into a joke and make himself the class clown.
.
He's not wearing the costume, but two years later and he's still clowning around. Or, at least he thinks he is.

After two years of constantly trying to top himself in the funny department, he's gone too far the other way and now he's become the jerk of the school. And when his newest teacher refuses to put up with it, Justin declares war, even if the teacher doesn't know it yet.
Now Justin must figure out how to become the funniest clown on campus without losing the few friends he has left and getting suspended in the process.
Final thoughts: It's a simple, quick read that's a good story, especially for kids who seem to have a problem understanding the difference between things that are funny and things that are hurtful.
