Billy 9F (en Inglés) - David Finley

"A fun tale of post-apocalyptic absurdity that packs a punch... Our Verdict-GET IT"-Kirkus Reviews

Like Orwell's 1984-but even funnier!

In a grim School-centred dystopia where humour is outlawed and laughter-even a single HA!-is met with an excruciating electric shock to the neck, Billy 9F is the ultimate threat: he's a Class Clown. Billy's extremely convincing and sublimely funny fake snot, barf and turd pranks, among others, soon have him labelled a menace by the regime's Big Brother-like leader, the Principal.

So Billy joins an underground comedic resistance movement with a mysterious new student, Jamie 9F, her mysterious grandfather, the Major, an ultra-mysterious revolutionary leader named Poopoo the Clown, and Billy's not-at-all mysterious but highly malfunctioning android mentor, Uncle Mike. To free his imprisoned parents, save his little sister's life and liberate the joyless populace, Billy must fully realize his own natural-born gifts and harness the awesome power of laughter.

Darkly funny, fast, and surprisingly hopeful, **BILLY 9F** is perfect for readers 12 years of age to infinity who love page-turners with big ideas-and lots of laughs.
