Reviews"A solid novel about the anger and agression that often fuels humor--and the compassion that can enhance it." Horn Book 4Q/4P "Dunk confirms Lubar's growing stature as an author of distinctive, intriguing, and highly original young adult fiction." VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates) Lubar ably charts a watershed summer between boyhood and manhood, just one of the attractions of [his] engrossing novel." Publishers Weekly "Lubar tells an engaging story with believable and interesting characters and witty dialogue. . . . Readers will be pleased." KLIATT "Chad is the prototype of the hard-luck teen. The Bozo, too, is classic...With painful truth, Lubar create[s] complex characters." Booklist, ALA "...genuinely original. Readers will relish [that] blend of hope and cynicism that gives [the boardwalk] its rich and gamey flavor." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "well-realized characters in a solid novel about the anger that often fuels humor - and the compassion that enhances it."

Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisChad finds a whole new summer occupation--he wants to be the Bozo, the clown who sits inside the dunk tank and goads people into taking a shot. What could be better than using his razor-sharp wit against a random stranger? But Chad soon discovers he's entered a strange and twisted world where humor packs a loaded punch.
