thebookishlibrarian's review against another edition

Jacky is a funny girl who has a stutter and loves to make kids laugh. Because she’s always making jokes during class, she accumulates a lot of detention time. Then Ms. O’Mara makes Jacky an offer. She can join the school play and attend rehearsals instead of sitting in detention every day after school. But can Jacky get her stutter under control to feel confident enough to act in the play? Read Jacky Ha-Ha by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein to find out.

Very good

I hope this series continues. It was fast reading and a lot of fun but there were some sad parts too.

The second half was not as fun as the first half- the events just kept happening like a list, with Jacky's narration. I used to like it more, but now it's become just another James Patterson(TM) book. (His books are: pretty sexist, have kids with sassy attitudes to make seem relatable[they're actually just annoying.], and lots of stereotypes that are supposed to make the book funnier.)

Cute read. I was emotional so it made me cry and giggle and re-live when I first read the book and made me remember why I like James Patterson as a writer so much.

Another children’s book I have devoured today at over 300 pages long. This book is extremely similar to Jacqueline Wilson style & her characters which I absolutely adore. An easy read with plenty of illustrations throughout.
Meet Jacky. Class clown. Funny. Sometimes naughty. Mischievous. Top of the class for receiving detentions. But in this story she finds something to put all her attention into. Maybe this is how she could turn herself around? Be someone to be proud of. A brilliant story of using her attitude and jokes for the better… This is Jacky writing to her daughters about her younger years.
Short chapters. Funny. Determined character. I loved Jacky. Highly recommend! A well deserved four stars from me. There is also a follow on from this which I have not found yet. This is book one.
