Patterson, James. I Funny. New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2012. 320p.
Jamie Grimm is a middle-schooler with a wonderful sense of humor. He's so funny, in fact, that he enters the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic contest. Jamie's humor helps him deal with many tough aspects of his life- an accident that paralyzed him from the waist down, missing his family, living with his humorless aunt and uncle and bully cousin, trying to get a girl to notice him, and much more.
Jamie's observations provide many opportunities for laughter, and his optimism is contagious! Readers will find themselves looking for the silver linings in their own challenges after reading this heart-warming novel and its sequel, I Even Funnier.
