I FUNNY: A MIDDLE SCHOOL STORY by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein
Jamie Grimm is funny. He has dreams of being a stand-up comic, although since he is in a wheelchair, he might have to become a sit-down comic instead.
Jamie lives with his aunt and uncle and their three children. The oldest, Stevie, is a bully who picks on Jamie mercilessly. Jamie has discovered that one way to deal with bullies is to hit them with a joke instead of a punch. He's had some success but not with his vicious cousin.
Another uncle of Jamie's owns a seaside restaurant. He encourages Jamie to follow his dream. Jamie enters a local comedy contest and wins. His uncle's customers encourage him to continue to the next level of the contest.
I FUNNY is filled with great jokes and one liners, and readers will learn how humor can help even in some of the worst times. Jamie makes the best of his situation and will inspire young readers to follow their dreams.
