I EVEN FUNNIER A Middle School Story

In this sequel to I FUNNY, middle schooler Jamie Grimm is even more determined to become the best kid stand-up comic in the world, even if he does have to deliver his jokes from a wheelchair. Frankie Seratch proves to be the perfect choice to narrate, given his talent for knowing exactly when to pause, slow, or speed up his delivery for maximum comic effect. Seratch gives Jamie’s voice an underlying hint of sadness that reveals how he masks his fear and vulnerability with humor. Seratch rounds out his performance with the enthusiastic reactions of Jamie’s friends, Pierce and Gaynor, and the gentle support of his Uncle Frankie. This funny yet poignant audiobook is a perfect choice for a family road trip. M.F.T. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2014]
