Jacky Ha-Ha is a James Patterson series for younger readers about a twelve-year-old who jokes her way through middle school. Jacky's mother is serving in a war far from home and her father is rarely there, and the joking holds the worry at a distance; a promise to keep the family together then costs Jacky the one thing that makes her happy. Three books are catalogued: Jacky Ha-Ha in 2016, My Life is a Joke in 2017 and Jacky Ha-Ha Gets the Last Laugh in 2023. Theatre and practical jokes run through all three.
