Jamie was a bit of a jerk for most of the book, but it was still a quick and easy read.

This is the story of Jamie Grimm, a handicap young boy who has a knack for making people laugh. Jamie is turned into a celeb at school, having made it to the finals of the World’s Funniest Kid Comic Contest. Everyone wants to be his friend, his girlfriend; even his bullying cousin Stevie wants a piece of him.
With jokes that will leave you gaging like, ‘You’re so ugly Hello Kitty said good-bye to you’, awesome pop culture references and celebrity appearances like Jimmy Fallon, Taylor Swift, Daniel Radcliffe, Billy Crystal (voiced Mike Wazowski in Monsters, Inc) this is a must read, especially if you want to laugh your socks off.
I recommend this to all kids. (and adults brave enough to buy it off the bookstores shelves).

I loved this book obliviously it was great to read a funny take on the life of middle school. A great in between emotional contemporary and emotional/crazy dystopian. Time to read the others!
