I Funny by James Patterson

Jamie Grimm is a comedian. He’s also a middle school student who has been adopted by relatives who are without the least bit of humor. Jamie’s arch nemesis is none other than his new step brother--Stevie Kosgrov.  Jamie jokingly refers to his new parents as the Smiley’s.

Jamie is in a wheelchair.  His dad’s brother, his Uncle Frankie, encourages Jamie to enter a comedy contest at the Ronkonkoma Comedy Club in Long Island.
Will Jamie be able to overcome his fear of choking up on stage? Will Stevie and his two thug friends really throw Jamie out of his wheelchair and dare to steal it? Will Jamie ever reveal what happened to him and his real family?

Read this very humorous account of a boy who bravely learns to face his fears.
