In his second book (Just Jake), Jake's long-term substitute teacher convinces his class (and their parents) that working on her pet-grooming business is a valuable way to spend the rest of the year. The situations are unbelievable and the dialogue rarely sounds authentic. Still, readers who like wacky shenanigans will find plenty here, underscored by colorful mixed-media illustrations and photos captioned by Jake.
