I Even Funnier by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein - - Advisable


Patterson, James and Grabenstein, Chris I Even Funnier, (Illustrated by Laura Park) 346 pgs. 2013. Hachette Book Group;  $13.99.  Language: PG (Fart jokes 0 swears); Violence: PG; Mature Content: G.  

Jamie Grimm is back, and on his way to the semi finals of the Planet’s Funniest Kid Comic contest!  But he’s still in middle school; dealing with his cousin the bully and now he’s agreed to be his tutor.  Can Chris avoid total annihilation from cousin Stevie Kosgrov and his mean friends? And what about the new kid who thinks he's funnier than Jamie?  

This sequel to I Funny is still full of corny old jokes, clever illustrations, and laughs mixed with pathos.  Patterson shows that everything isn’t always fun and games, even if you are the funniest kid in New York.
