Oddball fourth-grader Oggie Cooder is a talented "charver" who can bite cheese into myriad shapes. Oggie is thrilled when a TV show looking for quirky acts picks him, but excitement quickly turns to stress for the emerging star when Oggie's Hollywood-obsessed ten-year-old, self-appointed manager, Donnica Perfecto, tries to guide him. Funny gray-scale cartoons help bolster this entertaining, swift read.
