What I Did Like:
-Jaime. He continues to be a great character with a lot of personality who just has a great outlook on life. He doesn’t take himself too seriously and he’s a genuinely good kid.
-Friendship is center stage again. Just like in the first book in this series the kids are shining examples of how to be a good friend to people.
-Serious stuff. I enjoyed seeing a few serious things pop up in this one that had to be handled. Again, it’s a good lesson in how to view things in life and how to overcome hardships. There’s also a great opportunity here to have a lesson on priorities and accepting defeat.
Who Should Read This One:
-4-7th graders who love a good joke.
-Teachers looking to drop in lessons about sticking to your dreams.
My Rating: 3 Stars. This is a good book and for the right reader it would be exactly what they’re looking for!

These books are awesome. Lovable character, great story. A bit predictable, but amazing. My kids at school love them!

One of my students, a very bright student, told me that this is her favorite book, and that she has read it more than once. She won a prize at an event in our library, and when I asked her what book by Grabenstein she would like to have, autographed, she requested this one.
I did find this one a little funnier than the first one (even the jokes were a bit better) and I liked the fact that even the Smileys have some redeeming characteristics.
I will get more copies of these in our library; I think they have some redeeming qualities, and there is nothing at all wrong with our reluctant readers being drawn to these.

I even Funnier by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein is just as good as the first one, I Funny. In this book Jamie Grimm is on his way to semi-finals. But there are some challenges along the way that Jamie has to deal with.
I loved this book. It is really heartfelt, more than the first one, and you really love Jamie more than you already do. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a heartfelt funny read.

Fans of I Funny will definitely want to pick up this sequel. Jamie Grimm, your favorite wheelchair-bound middle school comedian, won the New York State championship of the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic Contest at the end of the first book. Now he is preparing for the regional semi-finals. In addition to finding good material, he still has to get good grades, help his friends through some rough stuff, and deal with the school's biggest bully, his cousin Stevie. Can he leap these middle school hurdles and find away to become even funnier? Recommended for grades 4-8.

Cute again. Not quite as fun as the first, but definitely still cute and enjoyable. Great characters.

I read this a while back and I love it. I can't say that it always had me laughing, don't get me wrong some parts were super funny and the humor was never corny, but I loved the plot. The plot was great and the characters seem real and not flimsy at all. I saw these books for many years before I decided to finally pick it up. If you have just finished a really heavy book or series and you're sad and feel empty,(trust me I know how it feels) this would be a great light hearted read and will have you laughing at least once. It doesn't matter what age you are, pick this up right now.
