Synopsis "I Funny (#1 new York Times Bestseller): A Middle School Story "

In James Patterson's heartwarming #1 New York Times bestseller, middle schooler Jamie Grimm faces bullying and self-doubt as he chases his dream to become the world's greatest comedian. Jamie Grimm is a middle schooler on a mission: he wants to become the world's greatest standup comedian--even if he doesn't have a lot to laugh about these days. He's new in town and stuck living with his aunt, uncle, and their evil son Stevie, a bully who doesn't let Jamie's wheelchair stop him from messing with Jamie as much as possible. But Jamie doesn't let his situation get him down. When his Uncle Frankie mentions a contest called The Planet's Funniest Kid Comic, Jamie knows he has to enter. But are the judges only rewarding him out of pity because of his wheelchair, like Stevie suggests? Will Jamie ever share the secret of his troubled past instead of hiding behind his comedy act? Following the bestselling success of the hilarious Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life, James Patterson continues to dish out the funnies in another highly-illustrated, heartfelt middle school story. (Includes more than 175 black-and-white illustrations.)

James Brendan Patterson, nacido en 1947 en Newburgh, Nueva York, es uno de los autores más leídos y prolíficos del mundo contemporáneo. Su capacidad para combinar intriga, ritmo ágil y giros inesperados lo ha convertido en un fenómeno editorial sin precedentes, con cientos de millones de libros vendidos a nivel global. Reconocido con premios como el Edgar y la National Humanities Medal, ha logrado además un impacto social notable gracias a su compromiso con la promoción de la lectura, destinando parte de sus ganancias a programas educativos y bibliotecas.

Un ejemplo de su versatilidad es The Idaho Four, donde aborda un caso criminal real con una mirada narrativa que mezcla investigación periodística y tensión novelística. Patterson demuestra así que no solo domina la ficción con sagas como Alex Cross o Michael Bennett, sino que también sabe adentrarse en el terreno de la no ficción con la misma intensidad, atrapando al lector en escenarios tan inquietantes como reales.
