Zeke Meeks series.
Illustrated by
josh Alves.
This series follows Zeke Meeks as he navigates the trials and tribulations of third grade. Whether playing with his best friend, Hector, or defying his arch-nemesis, Grace Chang, Zeke takes it all in stride. Witty first-person narration and comic illustrations document Zeke finding his rhythm, but overt messages about the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle detract from the stories. Review covers these Zeke Meeks titles: Zeke Meeks vs the Horrifying TV-Turnoff Week and Zeke Meeks vs the Putrid Puppet Pals.
