Just Tricking!

edit

Alternate Titles: Just Joking! and Just Kidding!

Released: 1997

This book begins by asking to take the "Tricking Test" to find out if the book is suitable, scoring one point for each 'yes' answer to questions such as playing dead to avoid going to school, pretending to be someone else on the phone, leaving banana skins on footpaths, whether or not you own rubber vomit or fake dog poo, and if you wish it were April Fool's Day every day. Humorously, whether you scored 0 or 5, it says you will love this book.[1]

Just Annoying!

edit

Released: 1998

A Publishers Weekly review stated that "Denton's scribbled pen illustrations fill up the margins on every page, with jokes, bizarre flip book animations and other absurdities".[2]

Just Stupid!

edit

Released: 1999

Just Stupid! is the third book in the Just! series by Andy Griffiths. It contains various silly short stories, about things such as snail-shell repairing, baby pram riding, and nonsensical dreams.[3] The book received a BILBY Award in the Younger Readers category in 2000.[4]

Just Crazy!

edit

Alternative Title: Just Wacky!

Released: 2000

Similarly to the first title in the series, Just Tricking!, the book asks readers to take the "Crazy Test", asking questions like "do you look in the mirror and see a crazy maniac staring back at you?" and "do you sometimes get the urge to take your clothes off and cover yourself in mud?"[5]

Just Three for Free!

edit

Released: 2000

This book contains three stories: Playing Dead, In The Shower With Andy, and Runaway Pram.[6]

Just Disgusting!

edit

Released: 2002

The test for this book asks if readers pick their nose, wear the same undies two days in a row and wee in swimming pools, among other disgusting things.[7]

Just Shocking!

edit

Released: 2007

Following a short break in releases in the series, this book asks if "you wish you could drive around in a monster truck crushing everybody and everything that gets in your way" and if watching videos of people getting involved in accidents is funny.[8]

Just Macbeth!

edit

Released: 2009

A different concept from Griffiths and Denton, this book is an alternative version of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. It was also produced by Bell Shakespeare for the stage in various performances nationally,[9] after Griffiths was commissioned by Bell Shakespeare in 2005 to adapt Macbeth for a younger audience.[10]

It is structured as "part narrative, part theatre script"[10] with stage directions and scripted lines, and acts and scenes are replaced by book chapters.

Just Doomed!

edit

Released: 2012

The "Doomed Test" asks if you have ever broken a mirror, walked under a ladder or opened an umbrella inside, among other superstitious things.
