Description

#1 bestselling author James Patterson doles out the laughs in the first book in the hit series! Middle-schooler Jamie Grimm faces bullies and self-doubt as he chases his dream of becoming the world’s greatest comedian.   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?

Prepare to laugh and cheer along with Jamie in this highly-illustrated, heartfelt middle school story.

    This could be a good book, but it isn't appropriate. The first twenty or thirty pages I think were okay, but right after that I saw something I didn't agree with. If you read through it, you will hopefully not agree with it either.

    Jamie Grimm does other comedians jokes and when he does original jokes they are not good! This is still a great book and I love James Patterson books.
  • LOVED IT!! (Spoiler alert 🚨)

    Usually these books are pretty immature, but I LOVED this book!!!! It made me pretty sad though 😭. Jamie is one of my all-time favorite characters and I wish this was made into a movie! (Unless it would be like the diary of a wimpy kid movies eeeewwww to immature) Also when he says “A win is a win! I just wish... well, I just wish my mom and dad could’ve seen me win. That’s all. I just wish they both could’ve been here. Funny how life works out sometimes, huh? Yeah. Really, really funny.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭WHYYY😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Does anyone else ship Suzie Orolvsky and Jamie Grimm? Ship name is now Jazie❤️❤️

    Overall, this wasn't to bad a book. In the pictures though, it always depicts people as laughing extremely hard but in reality, the jokes were pretty bland and boring..
