Publisher's Summary

Bloomsbury presents Something I Said by Ben Bailey Smith, read by Ben Bailey Smith. 

From comedian, actor, rapper and screenwriter Ben Bailey Smith comes the biggest middle-grade debut of the year - a blazingly funny, big-hearted story about family, friendship and how far one boy will go to get a laugh. 

For 13-year-old Carmichael Taylor, life is one big joke - in a good way. He just can’t understand why no one else seems to find everything as funny as he does. 

When Car is filmed stumbling into performing a piece of hilarious stand-up at the school talent show - targeting his family, school and friends - the footage ends up creating international infamy. But with the promise of fame and fortune comes trouble, and it’s up to Car to decide what or who he’s willing to risk to chase his comedy dream. 

A heartwarming and hilarious look at family, friendship and what really matters - perfect for fans of David Baddiel and Frank Cottrell-Boyce.
