Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading / Tommy Greenwald / 220 pages

"Never try to cut corners and have someone else do what you're supposed to do." This is the advice that Charlie Joe Jackson gives as a moral in the book he was sentenced to write as punishment over his summer vacation. Charlie is a non-reader and proud of it. It was his schemes to have others do his reading for him that lands Charlie in trouble. This is a most enjoyable book, alternating notebook advice pages with storyline featuring several kid-related themes.

"Reading burns absolutely no calories whatsoever. So the next time you consider picking up a book, you might want to remember what an unhealthy choice you are making."
