Jamie Grimm is a middle schooler on a mission: he wants to become the world's greatest standup comedian--even if he doesn't have a lot to laugh about these days. He's new in town and stuck living with his aunt, uncle, and their evil son Stevie, a bully who doesn't let Jamie's wheelchair stop him from messing with Jamie as much as possible. But Jamie doesn't let his situation get him down. When his Uncle Frankie mentions a contest called The Planet's Funniest Kid Comic, Jamie knows he has to enter. But are the judges only rewarding him out of pity because of his wheelchair, like Stevie suggests? Will Jamie ever share the secret of his troubled past instead of hiding behind his comedy act?

Following the bestselling success of the hilarious Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life, James Patterson continues to dish out the funnies in another highly-illustrated, heartfelt middle school story. (Includes more than 175 black-and-white illustrations.)

It is sometimes funny. But at the end I yelled and you might to.

This book is really good, Its about a kid that is going threw hard stuff and moving to a new school Long Beach Middle School, that kid likes to do jokes he saves kids from getting bullied, but not always, he can't save nobody from Stevie which is his cousin. Jaime has his legs paralyzed from a crashing with his family, they all died so he got adopted by the Smileys. Jaime has a family that he doesn't like that much he likes Frankie the most. Jaime gets in a competition on comedy and he wins! If you want to know the rest of the book read it! Its really good! Also read I Even Funnier!
