Product Description:
THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Cody doesn’t like Texas. He and his mom were only supposed to spend the summer there, helping out his grandmother. But Cody’s grandmother is sick and needs them to stay. Now he’s the new kid at the local middle school and all his friends are back in California. You’d think Cody’s cousin Hayden would show him the ropes. Not only is Hayden in the same grade, he lives subsequent door. But Hayden doesn’t want anything to do with Cody.
Cody’s luck begins to change when he befriends Officer Ramsey, a policeman and aspiring stand-up comic. Officer Ramsey appreciates Cody’s jokes so much, he pays Cody for the material! But it’s no laughing matter when a crime is committed at school and Cody becomes a suspect. Cody is going to need more than jokes to solve this mystery—and clear his name.

When thirteen-year-old Cody Carter moves with his mother from California to Texas to be near his sick grandmother, he finds out just how different these two places are. Cody is the new kid at school, he has no friends, and his cousin Hayden is a bully. However, there are two good things about Texas --- his grandmother, Mrs. Norton, and his new friend, Officer Ramsey. Mrs. Norton tries to help Cody understand the confusing "Hamlet" for his English class. Ramsey is a police officer and an aspiring stand-up comic, who pays Cody for his original jokes.
Understanding William Shakespeare, however, is the least of Cody's problems. When a crime is committed at his school, Cody finds himself to be the prime suspect. Cody knows he didn't do the crime but realizes that in order to prove his innocence he must find the real suspect himself. However, time is running out and Cody has to solve the mystery quickly before someone gets hurt.
LAUGH TILL YOU CRY is an intriguing and humorous mystery that has something for all readers to relate to --- from being the new kid at school to trying to understand the sometimes confusing works of Shakespeare. This is the last of more than 130 books written by the prolific Joan Lowery Nixon, who passed away in 2003.
