About this audiobook

When Marcus Hale discovers that acting a fool can turn him into the center of attention, the laughter feels like power. In his neighborhood, being loud earns respect faster than being thoughtful, and Marcus quickly becomes the guy everyone expects to entertain them. But as the jokes grow louder and the crowd keeps demanding more, Marcus begins to realize that the applause comes with a hidden cost. People start seeing the fool instead of the person behind the jokes. *When the Fool Speaks is a powerful coming of age story about reputation, identity, and the courage it takes to grow beyond the roles others expect you to play. It reminds readers that laughter is easy, but respect is earned, and sometimes the greatest lesson comes from the moment you decide to stop performing.
