This book by Tommy Greenwald is a funny look at one middle school boy's quest to never read a book. He pays people off with ice cream to read his books for him, he guilts his sister into reading books for him, he comes up with a system of only reading the first and last chapters of the books, and many other crazy schemes. What does he eventually learn about his quest to not read? Does it pay off in the end?
This was a very good book told from a middle school boy's prospective. It is about middle school life in general and not just about not reading. I feel this book will be a big hit with boys from 4th grade and up who are reluctant readers since they will understand where Charlie Joe is coming from.
