Mortimer North

Mortimer North is the jester of the court, his job is to keep the royals laughing. In fact, it was the job of his father, his grandfather, and his father before him. He has sung, has danced, and he's roast the royals without consequence. But when one of his puns makes King Gerald laugh himself to death, the tables turn. He was sentenced to life on the Island of Fools, a remote island where bad comedians are sent to live out the rest of their lives. Armed with an arsenal of jokes and a set of curled toed shoes, he is forced to live among the unfunny for the rest of his days—unless he can find a way off the island
