""Cheesie Mack is a true original."" -Gordon Korman, bestselling author of Swindle and Schooled

Ronald ""Cheesie"" Mack is not a genius or anything, but he remembers everything that happened before, during, and after fifth-grade graduation, and he's written it all down in his own unique and hilarious way-with lots of lists, drawings, and splenderful (that's splendid plus wonderful!) made-up words.

Cheesie-with a little help from Steve Cotler-writes about family, friendship, and tough choices in an unforgettable voice that will have kids laughing out loud. Readers of Diary of a Wimpy Kid will love both the clever humor and the black-and-white illustrations throughout."

Reviews for Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything

"Kirkus Reviews: ""Readers will be happy to learn that Cotler's debut is the first in a new series. Cheesie chattily narrates his own story; his voice rings true, and the other characters are a gently quirky, appealing lot."" Publishers Weekly: ""Fifth-grader Ronald 'Cheesie' Mack's problems (like how to outsmart his evil older sister June, aka 'Goon') may be ordinary, but in the hands of first-time author Cotler they're plenty entertaining."" Booklist: ""Cheesie and his book are basic, good old-fashioned fun."" The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books: ""A lighthearted and fast-moving read for kids looking for middle-school shenanigans."" The Horn Book Magazine: ""The pleasures are in meeting a new friend--and in the promise of a sequel to this debut novel."""
