Comedy, family, and a summer promise

Jacky Hart’s summer brings acting and singing ambitions together with family, friends, and work. Her instinct to crack jokes—even when the moment calls for something else—also helps her avoid dwelling on her mother’s service in a dangerous, distant war and her father’s frequent absence. When Jacky promises to keep her family together, she faces a difficult question: what might she have to give up, and can she still be herself if she stops making people laugh? Told as a graphic novel, the story connects school-age humor with worries about family and the tension between caring for others and holding on to a source of personal happiness.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ages 9–12 looking for humorous graphic novels.
  • Readers interested in stories about family ties, friendship, and growing into a sense of self.
  • Those who enjoy a young protagonist with interests in acting, singing, and joke-making.

Book overview

In this hilarious graphic novel series from the world's #1 bestselling author, class clown Jacky Hart is back and ready for the best summer ever--but can she juggle family, friends, and work and still find time to act AND sing?

With her irresistible urge to tell a joke in every situation--even when it's a bad idea--Jacky Ha-Ha loves to make people laugh. And cracking wise helps distract her from thinking about not-so-funny things in her life, like her mom serving in a dangerous, faraway war, and a dad who's hardly ever home.

But no matter how much fun Jacky has, she can't entirely escape her worries. So one starlit night, she makes a promise to keep her family together ... even if she has to give up the one thing that makes her happy. But can she stop being Jacky Ha-Ha, if that's who she really is?

Bright, funny, and fast-paced artwork will have readers laughing their way through Jacky's ha-ha-heartwarming story!
