Description

Charlie Joe Jackson, the most reluctant reader ever born, made it his mission in the first book to get through middle school without reading a single book from cover to cover. Now he's back--and trying desperately to get straight As in order to avoid going to academic camp for the summer. To do this, he will have to betray his friend, lose the girl of his dreams, and end up acting in a school play about the inventor of paper towels. Charlie Joe's not exactly the "school play kind of guy," but desperate times call for desperate measures, in "Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Extra Credit" by Tommy Greenwald.

Author Biography

TOMMY GREENWALD is extra excited about the next chapter in the Charlie Joe Jackson series! His favorite meal is extra-crispy fried chicken and ice cream with extra hot fudge sauce. His favorite television show is "Extra." Tommy lives in Connecticut with his extraordinary wife, Cathy; his extra-special kids Charlie, Joe, and Jack; and his extremely cute dogs, Moose and Coco. Illustrated by J.P. COOVERT.

Reviews

"No middle schooler wants to face a month at summer enrichment camp, but many will enjoy watching Charlie Joe work harder than he has ever worked before to avoid it...even if he fails."--"Kirkus" "Sure to appeal to reluctant readers who will identify with Charlie Joe's knack for avoiding reading and schoolwork, this title would also make a fabulous read-aloud. Luckily for fans of Charlie Joe, another installment in this unlikely hero's life is forthcoming." - "School Library Journal"
