Barmy Jeffers is a children’s humor series by J.H. Brennan, with all three books released in quick succession between 1988 and 1989. The series follows its oddball protagonist through a string of silly and unpredictable situations, written in a style designed to make young readers laugh out loud.
Brennan’s approach to children’s comedy here is broad and playful, leaning on exaggeration and absurdity rather than anything subtle. The books are short and fast-paced, making them good picks for reluctant readers or kids looking for something fun between longer novels. While less well-known than Brennan’s gamebooks or fantasy series, Barmy Jeffers shows his ability to write entertaining stories for a younger audience.
