Jamie Grimm is a middle school student in a wheelchair who lives with the Smileys (his nickname for them since they don’t laugh or smile); his aunt, uncle and their three children who don’t have any sense of humor, and gets bullied by their older son. Jamie is on a mission; to be the greatest standup sitdown comedian in the world. He is a natural at joking; his brain is wired for it. After school and on the weekends, he goes to his Uncle Frankie’s Diner and practices his jokes on customers with a result of endless laughing. Then, his Uncle tells him about The Planet’s Funniest Kid Comic Contest. Without telling anyone, Jamie starts practicing jokes everywhere he can; with his friends Pierce: who has a vast knowledge, Gaynor: who has tattoos and a nose-piercing, Cool Girl: who thinks Jamie is a book-carrier, and are very close friends, and Gilda: the girl with the frizzy hair. He also practices with the Smileys and tries to make the un-laughable laugh. He wins first place for the city competition-but will he win the state? What I thought about the book: I Funny is very funny. Extremely funny. I laughed endlessly. James Patterson is a wonderful author. After I read his other middle school books, Middle School: The Worst Years Of My Life and Middle School: Get Me Out Of Here!; I raced to get this from the library. His books are almost like middle school diaries. It’s almost like he was writing his experiences from middle school. He writes so well. The pictures (by the awesome Laura Park) are a great addition to the book. Beautifully inked, they help you understand the story way better. S if you want some great jokes, for example (I almost busted a gut with this one) : “Hey, have you heard about the kidnapping?” ”No.” ”Don’t worry, he’s still sleeping.”; read I Funny. And if that doesn’t make you read it, then I don’t know what will. Xander

Alec is always getting in trouble for reading when he's supposed to be paying attention in class. He can't put a good book down, which unfortunately leads to the Principal's decision that Alec has to pay attention or else. In order to legitimately squeeze in his reading time he starts a club in his after-school program. A club where he only reads, and is called the Loser's Club so no one else will join. But before he knows it the club starts to grow....and he starts to learn that real life can be pretty interesting too. I really liked this book! I felt like it was a really unique tale, I liked reading about a boy who is so passionate about reading. I recommend this book to elementary school kids and up, and to both girls and boys. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The funniest parts of this book were: having to crawl through a vent system to find a stuffed animal and sitting next to a cat while eating tuna. The most exciting part was when someone went through a window just like a spy.

This is an adventure so sweet you might need to go to the dentist after. Lexi Poole, member of PLC (Peace, Love and Cupcakes) comes back from a summer with her aunt in NYC. As school starts, her drama class decides to put on the production Romeo and Juliette. She gets the part of Juliette, even though she is shy, but the worst part is her all time crush got the part of Romeo!

This is only THE greatest book ever. OK, so there's this girl named Ida. She absolutely loves school(which I can relate to). Anyways, the teacher's mother gets sick, so the school has to close. Which means Ida and her best friend Tom don't get to take their exams, so they can't go into high school the next year. Going to high school means everything to Ida, and she just has to take that exam. To her, the world would probably be over if she didn't go to high school. So then Tom has this brilliant idea: Ida could become the teacher. Ida hates the idea at first but then, she and her fellow classmates take a vote of Ida should be the teacher so then they voted her in. But they have to keep the school a secret. One day, a school inspection person comes in, and figures out about the school. She agrees to keep the school a secret, but the children all have to take the exams since Ida is not a certified teacher. So then one of the students, the one that is the troublemaker, hadn't come to school in a while so she went to see him. The boy's father then tells the school board about the secret school. But then the boy walks to Ida's house to tell her about the school board meeting (which, by the way, she wasn't supposed to know about) and she goes to the meeting. She stands up for the school and they decide that it couldn't do any harm to let them continue the school until the exams. They do, so then after everybody takes the exams and everyone except the troublemaker passes. But Ida still isn't sure that she'll be able to go to high school because her family has to have enough money for her to board somewhere. But then the inspection lady says she will let Ida stay at her house for free. So Ida and Tom go to high school and all is well. Ravi is such a great writer. I read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle but The Secret School was so much better.

I REALLY love 1D!!!!!! They made my life so much better. Harry is my favorite!!! He is kind, sympathetic, and very deep. He is much more than he appears to be. People may put him into categories depending on what he looks like but his personality is so much more than that. There is more to him than what others see. He cares a lot- sometimes, a bit too much. But he secretly has little patience for most people. He is not vein but he tries to point out things about himself that he likes even though there may be a lot he doesn't like. He appears to be shy and awkward but can be very loud and outgoing mostly around friends or with a best friend. He likes music from a wide range of styles and can't really put his music taste into any one category. I love this book too lol

this book is amazing it has a grate dill of friendship with Willa and Ruby and some amazing hardships to overcome just to see that she can be happy with her new mom!!!!!(Ruby's mom)
