Big Nate meets Timmy Failure in Funny Kid for President, the first book in an uproarious new middle grade series by Matt Stanton, Australia’s bestselling children’s book author.
When Max gets blamed for pooping in the storeroom (which he did NOT do), tensions hit an all-time high between him and his terrifyingly large teacher, Mr. Armstrong. But then, the most unexpected thing happens—the school principal, Mrs. Sniggles, suggests Max run for class president.
Max isn’t the only kid on the ballot, however. His archenemy, Abby Purcell, is also up for election—and she’s out to defeat him at all costs. To win, Max is going to need the 24/7 help of his best friend, Hugo, and he’s going to have to run the campaign of a lifetime.
Max may not be the smartest or fastest kid, or the handsomest, but he just might be the funniest kid you’ll ever meet—and it’s this talent that could turn him from underdog to top dog. Max for President!
Matt Stanton brings his veteran children’s book chops to this hilarious new series, perfect for early middle grade readers looking for side-splitting laughs!

Gr 3–5—Max Walburt decides to run for class president. Since he's not the best athlete, the smartest, the tallest, or the most handsome, his platform will be that he is the funniest. And funny he proves to be in this hilarious combination of text, drawings, and comics. Max has a lot to deal with: he's being stalked by a duck who thinks he's its mother, his teacher absolutely loathes him, and somebody pooped on the classroom floor (Max is blamed for this transgression even though he's innocent). And classmate Abby Purcell, who, like every villain, has one magical eyebrow that can be raised cynically at will, vows to beat him in the election. Poop, vomit, and snot jokes abound as each candidate is taken out of the competition by someone's evilly successful plan. But who is the culprit behind the election sabotage? Max and his friend Hugo are on the case. Max's droll observations are made even more comical by the simple but highly expressive line drawings, which enhance the humor and plot immensely. This book is guaranteed to be very popular with reluctant readers. Australian spellings will be easily understood. VERDICT Fans of "Captain Underpants" will love this new kid in town. Highly recommended for middle grade collections.—B. Allison Gray, Goleta Public Library, CA
