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. Perfect if you're looking for: ★ An uplifting, empowering book to get kids more interested in reading ★ A kid-favorite gift for birthdays or holidays ★ A fresh illustrated read for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and graphic novels Review: One of the best books EVER!!! (for a lot of reasons!) - Jamie Grimm LOVES comedians! In his book, he has Billy Crystal, The Marx Brothers, Will Ferrell, Rodney Dangerfield, Chris Rock, Joan Rivers, etc. (I think I found 33 of them in the book, but I could be wrong.) He lives in Long Beach, NY, near the Boardwalk. (I’m jealous — I used to live in LawngIsland.) Jamie likes MATH! (believable or not). The bad news is that is family died, and Jamie uses a wheelchair. Plus he’s nervous and in school he sweats a lot. Jamie’s best friends are Gaynor and Pierce and some of Jamie’s other friends are Gilda Gold, Cool Girl and Mr. Burdkecki (like From Russia with Love!). Jamie’s Uncle Frankie who does the grill and does yo-yo at the same time! He can Hop the Fence, Walk the Dog, Loop the Loop, and go Around the World with one hand while flipping griddle cakes and two eggs over with the other. (For me, how about NEVER!) Once Uncle Frankie tells Jamie that in 1914 the boardwalk was built — with the help of ELEPHANTS! (I didn’t know that! COOL!!!) Jamie lives with The Smileys who never laugh, and one of them is a BAD GUY. Unfortunately, Jamie can’t climb the stairs. (I like the picture “Welcome to the HOUSE of PAIN”, but sad.) Anyhow, Jamie tries Comedy, and you can guess what happened (i.e. TROPHIES!). Chapters 60, 61, and 62 were CLASSIC! And Page 230, it says the word “bubelah”. What is it? Even wikipedia couldn’t find it. Review: Everything perfect rolled into one - I chose the rating of the book to be a five. Mostly because it's everything rolled into one. It's hilarious(totally witty), dramatic which is great for people like me, heartbreaking and hearthealing all at the same time.. and everybody needs to cry sometimes~everybody needs to smile sometimes,and romatical!!!! <3 I mean who doesn't love love! The other reason why I chose the book to be a five is because it relates to me. Same age same situation of wanting to fit in and bullies. I mean this book to me seems like it was written for me. I would recommend this book to people who need a good laugh,whose spirit needs to be rised, who are just looking for a good middle school story, and for someone who feels like their afraid and just feels like they don't fit in. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #35,687 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #54 in Children's Books on Disabilities #73 in Children's Books on Bullying #316 in Children's Self-Esteem Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,713 Reviews | ## Images ![I Funny: A Middle School Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81muFO+oXJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best books EVER!!!

We both loved it. He loved the bathroom humor - you know the farts, burps, and butt jokes that are so humorous at that age. And he also loved the serious side of the story. When Jamie tells "Cool Girl" about the horrific event that caused him to end up in a wheelchair, we both cried. When Jamie competes to be the funniest kid comic, we both laughed and cheered. I highly recommend this book. It helps children see the good and bad, the funny and tragic, while giving them a wonderful role model in the main character, Jamie. ## Frequently Bought Together - I Funny: A Middle School Story (I Funny, 1) - I Even Funnier: A Middle School Story (I Funny, 2) - I Totally Funniest: A Middle School Story (I Funny, 3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/11903346-i-funny-a-middle-school-story](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/11903346-i-funny-a-middle-school-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
