Knock, knock. Who's there? Jake. Jake who? Jake Drake, Class Clown. Miss Bruce is the new student teacher in second grade, and she never smiles. Never. But when Jake cracks up the class during a spelling bee, he sees the tiniest hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, Jake has a new mission in life: to be so funny that even Miss Bruce will laugh But then things get out of hand, and Jake finds himself in big trouble. Has Jake discovered -- too late -- that not everybody loves a clown?
Most books with boys on the cover don't appeal to my 9 and 6 yr old girls. However this wasn't necessarily a "boys" book. The moral of the story is clear and positive. I now think of Andrew Clements as a sort of modern day Aesop.
I loved this book!

When I started this book, I had no idea how funny it would be. I almost fell down laughing when I read it. I thought I would explode each time Jake made the techer SO mad. It made me feel diferent ways. In the begining it really made me laugh; but in the end, I had sympathy for Jake. I could tell the author put a lot of hard work into this story. Evreybody should read JAKE DRAKE, CLASS CLOWN.
