When the call goes through, you're directed to press 1 to share an opinion or 0 to speak directly to a member of his staff. I pressed 0 and after multiple attempts finally got through to a voicemail box

I just had to call 5 times to get through, I kept either getting disconnected or getting a busy signal. I hope his phone is ringing off the fucking hook.
Direct number for his DC office is (202) 224-6221

My grandma got me Junie B. Jones books when I was a kid, and I loved them so much! I've read them with my older kid, and the meatball bit in the Valentine's book was the hardest I'd seen him laugh at anything up to that point. I think my younger kid is actually old enough for them now!

Picture book, not chapter book, but have you read The Bear Who Wasn't There? It's my LeUyen Pham, the illustrator from the Princess in Black books, and it's so funny and meta (like, a step up from "We Are in a Book!"). I love it so much

And I'll 2nd Mia Mayhem, The Questioneers, Princess in Black, Dog Man, and my beloved Junie B. Jones (I loved these so much as a kid that I got a set when my older son was a baby and held onto them until he was bigger, and I don't think he'd ever laughed as hard at anything as he did reading them).

Usually a lurker, but I love kids' books, so I'll come out of the woodwork to suggest the Hotel Flamingo series (sweet & gentle, a girl and animals running a hotel on the seaside) and InvestiGators/Agents of SUIT (wacky secret agent graphic novels with lots of cultural references and sight gags).

I just picked up my copy today from my local book store!

-How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix (def horror and gets gory, but it has haunted puppets and made me both laugh and cry)
-Earls Trip by Jenny Holiday (officially, Ted Lasso x Bridgerton; hist rom with my perfect mix of historical-ness and irreverent anachronism, plus fun chapter titles)

Based on your other response, these might not be your genre, but this year I loved:
-Mr. Magic by Kiersten White (somewhere between horror and thriller, I guess? Nothing truly "horror"-y happens, but it's very creepy; it's about a weird early '90s kids show but also overcoming religious trauma)
