I even funnier, a middle school story is the follow up to the best seller I funny, a humorous story that naturally appeals to teenagers and kids the world over. James Grimm, the main character, is in a wheel chair, and he really wants to be a comedian and when he wins a contest for child comedians, and is even more determined to become a stand-up comic, and his wheelchair wont stop him.
I even funnier, is a wonderful story for adolescents. James Grimm was not born needing a wheelchair, in fact he was injured in an accident, resulting in his ending up in a wheelchair. He loves comedy, and wants to be a stand-up comedian, and even though his wheelchair should not matter, James views it as something that will hold him back from his dream. Like many adolescents James must contend with bullies, he likes girls just as much as the next guy, and he has to battle lifes problems just like many kids do. And so young teens can relate to some of what James goes through.
Lots of good laughs happen through-out all of this, and Jamies attitude is admirable, because of everything that has happened to him. I recommend reading it to find out. Primary and intermediate and some high school students particularly boys will really enjoy this series of books. Especially with jokes like:
A woman gets on a bus with her baby, and the driver says to her ''that is the ugliest baby I have ever seen''. The woman sits down next to a man and says, ''the driver was very rude to me''. The man says ''Go up to him, and tell him how you feel. I will hold your monkey''.
Anyone who has read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series will very much enjoy this book.

This is the story of Hare, who struggles with an un-named mental malady self-described as 'noise'.
Noise could be runaway thoughts, voices in Hare's head, or loud feelings and general anxiety. Hare goes on a journey to try and find a solution.
Just when Hare thinks there's no hope a friend, Ruru, flies calmly down and gives a suggestion.
