    A laugh-out-loud, against-all-odds triumph of a story:
    the funniest debut of 2021


    Billy Plimpton is an eleven-year-old boy with a big
    dream.


    He wants to be a stand-up comedian when he grows up: delivering
    pinpoint punch-lines and having audiences hang on his every hilarious
    word.


    A tough career for anyone, but surely impossible for Billy, who
    has a stammer. How will he find his voice, if his voice won't let
    him speak?


    The idea for this story came from Helen Rutter's son, who has
    a stammer: she wanted to write the book that he would love to read,
    starring a child like him.
