    After scoring big on national TV in the semifinals contest, everyone back home is jumping on the Jamie Grimm bandwagon, and all the attention might be going to his head. Not only are his friendships starting to suffer, but the pressure of coming up with his best material ever for the ultimate standup act to snag the final win in Hollywood is pushing Jamie to the brink. Suddenly, life isn't looking very funny anymore. Can Jamie take the grand prize without pushing away his fans, friends and family?

      Summary:The book starts out after Jamie, the main character has won the Semifinals for the Planets Funniest Kid Comic; a contest that pits young comedians against each other for the grand prize winner. Jamie has so far made it to the final eight competitors in the competition. Since he has become a worldwide celebrity, he has abandoned his old friends and joined all the popular kids. Once he gets to the semifinals, he realizes that the other kids are treating this contest like a blood sport. After a hurricane hits his hometown of Long Beach however, he realizes the error of his ways and goes back to his friends. The Semifinals in Hollywood are postponed and after lots of preparing, he wins and makes it to the finals. There his friend Judy, who is a teenage celebrity, tries to bribe people in to voting for her.She fails however, and only two people remain. Once there, he wins by so much it is practically unbelievable. His step-parents put half of his million dollar winnings into his college savings account and the rest of the money goes to the hospital where he lived after being in the car crash that killed his entire family.Review:The series in general was written very well. The main character was quite relate-able and at the beginning believable. But in the majority of this book all this new found fame seemed to get the better of him and make him a complete jerk. After that I really didn't care what happened to him. Also, the ending seemed way to good to be true and, frankly, after what he did to his friends (Who by the way supported him all through the trilogy) I didn't really think he deserved that kind of ending.A disappointing ending to a book series that could have been SO much better. Therefore, I rate this book 1 and a half out of five stars.

      Everyone knows the kid is funny. He's proven he can be even funnier. But is Jamie Grimm really, totally the funniest kid in the world?

      - From the back of the book




      After the car accident that killed Jamie's parents and sister and left him in a wheelchair, Jamie spent time in a rehab center. The staff there encouraged him to read joke books and watch videos of comedians. They said laughter is the best medicine. Because of this, Jamie has become a comedian. He loves telling jokes. Despite the fairly grim past, this book is not sad. It is not about his parents being dead. It happened a while ago and Jamie is a strong kid. He thinks about his sister and parents but it is not the main focus of the story. The trilogy is about Jamie in school and competing in various contests to try to prove he is the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic.

      I read all three of these books with my son (I Funny, I Even Funnier and I Totally Funniest). They are quick reads with short chapters. The main character, Jamie is very funny and likable. He goes through various difficulties of being in middle school including being bullied, navigating friendships and liking girls. In this book he is faced with the extra pressure of being a finalist in the contest and trying to deal with the fame that comes with it. It's a lot of pressure for a middle school kid and he has difficulties. Jamie's journey and resilience are inspiring.

      My son (11) and I both really enjoyed all of the books and though the ending is predictable, the journey is still fun. I think Middle School kids will find this a fun, easy read. The entire series is a good choice to try for reluctant readers.

      Recommended to:
      Grades 4 through 8. Anyone who likes funny stories or stories about middle school. Reluctant readers.
