A honking goose. A dying moose. A tugboat on the loose. These are just three of the ways the classmates of nine-year-old William J. Gigglesworth describe his laugh. Is it any wonder why he’s called it quits on chuckling all together?! Despite the best efforts of family, friends, and doctors, no one can get a giggle out of William. It’s only through the persistent friendship of Josie Ryan that William is able to recognize his unique chuckles are, in fact, a gift.

Written by Sean Cahill, Gigglesworth is a laugh-packed tale for the whole family, exploring friendship, self-worth, and even some laughs (despite what the cover might lead you to believe).
