I Funny by Chris Grabenstein, James Patterson

4.0

I Funny is about a boy named Jamie Grimm. Jamie always likes to see the funny side of things, he wants to be a comedian. He has recently moved to Long Beach in New York where he lives with his cousins, and hangs out with his Uncle at his dinner. All Jamie wants is to become a comedian and be treated normally. People sometimes do not treat Jamie normally because he uses a wheelchair. At school Jamie has some great friends, but he is also bullied. THe bully also happens to be his cousin. Jamie hears about a contest to be the Planet's funniest kid and everyone but him thinks he should enter. Jamie does not think that he is funny enough and he is also afraid to go in front of an audience. This book is Jamie's journey to being treated normally and getting the confidence to go onstage in front of people.

I loved this book. My brother recommend this book to me and I did not expect to like it, but I loved it. It is a truly heartfelt book that makes you smile. AS much as it makes you smile it makes you sad when you see how Jamie is treated. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a read that is heartfelt and funny. It is also a good books for boys to read. I know that it is hard to find good books for guys, but this is one of them.
