Give this book to reluctant readers right away!!! It is cleverly written, laugh-out-loud reading for kids who, like the book's narrator Charlie Joe, would prefer to do anything but read.
In this first book of the series, middle-schooler Charlie Joe Jackson provides non-reading tips while explaining how he wound up spending an entire summer writing a book of his own as punishment for many failed schemes. Student readers will empathize with this humorous narrator while finding great entertainment in his attempts to stay afloat socially and academically. Written by a father of three reading-averse boys, this book is an attention-grabbing page-turner and, most importantly, a joy to read!
Kids who love this book can continue the adventures in its two sequels: Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Extra Credit and Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Summer Vacation.
