James PattersonI Totally Funniest: A Middle School Story (I Funny, 3)

Everyone knows the kid is funny. He's proven he can be even funnier. But is Jamie Grimm really, totally the funniest kid in the world?- From the back of the bookAfter the car accident that killed Jamie's parents and sister and left him in a wheelchair, Jamie spent time in a rehab center. The staff there encouraged him to read joke books and watch videos of comedians. They said laughter is the best medicine. Because of this, Jamie has become a comedian. He loves telling jokes. Despite the fairly grim past, this book is not sad. It is not about his parents being dead. It happened a while ago and Jamie is a strong kid. He thinks about his sister and parents but it is not the main focus of the story. The trilogy is about Jamie in school and competing in various contests to try to prove he is the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic.I read all three of these books with my son (I Funny, I Even Funnier and I Totally Funniest). They are quick reads with short chapters. The main character, Jamie is very funny and likable. He goes through various difficulties of being in middle school including being bullied, navigating friendships and liking girls. In this book he is faced with the extra pressure of being a finalist in the contest and trying to deal with the fame that comes with it. It's a lot of pressure for a middle school kid and he has difficulties. Jamie's journey and resilience are inspiring.My son (11) and I both really enjoyed all of the books and though the ending is predictable, the journey is still fun. I think Middle School kids will find this a fun, easy read. The entire series is a good choice to try for reluctant readers.Recommended to:Grades 4 through 8. Anyone who likes funny stories or stories about middle school. Reluctant readers.

My middle school son just loves this series and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Very funny (to him!). It’s a fast read with largish print. He usually finishes these in 1 or 2 days but then we pass them along to friends which is great because then they can talk about it together. He started reading this series when he was 10. He loves to read but this is a great series for more reluctant readers to enjoy.

Another Greath book by James!

HaHa this book was amazing and all of the things that can happen to a middle schooler in this book is so relatable. I love this book and I recommend this book to absolutely everybody. James Patterson is my sons favorite author Chris Grabenstein also did a great job. Please read this series.

I thought this book was great, I liked almost everything about it. My only problem was the ending, I felt like it was missing a lot. I earnestly see him with his friends more, I wanted to see him more with Gilda, and I will admit I was a little curious about what his parents and sister looked like. I felt like it ended to quickly. Other then that I thought the book was great.

This book looks at the world from the perspective of: a victim, jerk, friend, kid comic, and most importantly... Butt Level. Meet Jamie Grimm- the sit-down kid comic. The funniest kid comic finals await him in Hollywood, the stakes rocket up sky-high. But there is something in his hometown that needs those stakes more than Jamie. Could it be A. a big-time Hollywood agent? B. Millions of dollars worth of damage? C. a penthouse in New York City? or D. The middle school bully/ his cousin Stevie Kosgrov?

That is true! Jamie Grimm is the planets funniest kid comic! I don't how, but Jamie Grimm is really funny! I bet it's because he only read joke books in the "Hopeless Hotel." I can't tell you what happens in the end, or else I'll ruin it! I don't know if I funny TV, will be good, but I'm going to read it!

Because i have been interested in comedy so I wanted see what a life like a famous comedian would be like so I can consider my dream job and I’m very close to having that dream job.

Foster children love this book so much

The book was a great read and couldn't put it down but it didn't come in good condition like it said. The pages were frayed and there were marks all over it,

My son laughed throughout reading this. He absolutely loves this book as he has done the whole series.

James Patterson's series of i funny is one of the best series' I've read. It's extremely funny and brings in real life emotions in engaging comics x

Great story
