Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Extra Credit

265 pp. | Roaring Brook | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-692-3 $14.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by J. P. Coovert. Charlie Joe Jackson gets involved in extracurricular activities to improve his grades in Extra Credit. In Summer, he goes to a camp for gifted kids (a.k.a. nerds) and tries to remake the campers in his own image. These second and third installments contain some caricatures, but Charlie Joe's middle-school wise-guy voice is entertaining. Black-and-white drawings add humor.
