Need Something Funny!

Hi Next Book,
I am a boy in fifth grade! I like to read but I have a problem finding good books! I like chapter books that are funny!
Please help!
Sincerely,
Funny Book Guy

Hi Funny Book Guy,
We think we have some good books for you to check out! We suggest you start with some short, funny books to help build your reading stamina. We also think you might want to read a couple books in the same series or by the same author - we think you might enjoy that. Here are some of the books that we are thinking about for you:


  • Nana Cracked the Case - This is a great book. It is very funny and a fun mystery to read.

  • Big Nate books - This is a great series that we think you will just love. The books are funny and filled with great stories. This series is a comic-strip series. Many of us even like it better than the Diary of a Whimpy Kid series.

  • Roald Dahl books - We think you will really like books by a great author - Raul Daul. He is an excellent author and his books are fun to read and are often very funny. Some are short and easy to read others are longer and more complicated - so there is a little something for everyone!

  • Gary Paulsen books - Paulsen writes a lot about nature and survival but he also has some very fun/funny books. Give Liar Liar and Flat Broke a try. We think you will like the fun stories and the humor you will find.

  • Knuckleheads - This is the fun autobiography of Jon Scieszka. It is filled with great and often funny stories from Jon's life. Many of us have read this book and loved it.

  • The Dragon Slayer's Academy series - This is a great series that many of us have read and LOVED. Each book is a fun, quick read filled with interesting stories and characters.

We hope that at least one of these books looks interesting to you. We will keep thinking and let you know if think of any others.

Happy Reading - Enjoy,

Next Book
