The Funny Kid by Mark S Waxman
An overweight, self-deprecating, aspiring stand-up comedian, twelve-year-old Toby Baxter, amazingly fulfills his life's dream to perform on national television.
Toby Baxter is the funniest kid in school. He's also the biggest. But Toby manages to keep most of his bullies at bay by telling hilarious fat jokes. Yet, just moments before fulfilling his dream to perform on The Tonight Show, Toby realizes how hurtful it is to make fun of himself and others struggling with weight issues. Thanks to the new girl in town, a near death experience, and his support team, Toby learns the importance of nutrition, exercise, and self-acceptance.
