Charlie Joe Jackson’s Guide to NOT Reading by Tommy Greenwald, Illustrated by J.P. Coovert
To say that Charlie Joe Jackson didn’t like to read would be a huge understatement. He would do anything, at any cost, to avoid reading. (Sound like anyone you know?)
Charlie Joe managed to make it to middle school without ever having read an entire book. He had a plan, and it worked for him…until now! His friend Timmy no longer was willing to accept ice cream sandwiches in exchange for telling Charlie Joe about the books he should have read.
You might think that Charlie Joe would realize it was time to start doing his own reading. Yeah, right! More scheming and plotting ensues. Will he get through middle school with his non-reading record intact?
This is a fun, fast read that even Charlie Joe Jackson would enjoy if he weren’t so busy trying to NOT read!
Oh, and if you too are a non-reader and aren't convinced this book is worth picking up, you may want to read it just for the Tips for NOT reading that Charlie Joe provides throughout the book, starting with “If you have to read a book, make sure it has short chapters.”
