The authors which spring to my mind in intermediate books of humor are Barbara Park and Robert Kimmel Smith. Even though they tackle serious subjects - death of a sibling or generational conflicts, they do it with humor to get the point across. "Don't make me smile" was a the best depiction of how a child feels in an impending divorce that I have ever read. Flit McElligott, media Rosendale Elementary Niskayuna NY fmce at aol.com
