And when his friend Timmy McGibney decides that he's tired of covering for him, Charlie Joe finds himself resorting to desperate measures to keep his perfect record intact.

This book is really good. It teaches you a lesson about a guy who has to write a book because he got bad grades. I definitely recommend this book!! It is also about popularity a little.
Charlie Joe Jackson is one boy who hates to read and has never ever read a single book in his life.But now that he's in middle school, avoiding reading isn't as easy as it used to be.
This book was fast pacing and was a summer quick read. It was everything I hoped for: humor. This story caught my eye after I read Charlie Joe's Guide to Extra Credit, that too was a fun read so I read this. I'm a little sad that I didn't read the series in order, but it was still a funny book, I loved the characters and I liked how they all played in the story.
My friend read this book and she really really really loved the book.

Many of my friends love this book mostly because of the ways the author tries to get people to read while teaching them how not to read. Its sort of like visa versa and i honestly think that is very smart.
I have a few friends who read this and they say it's great! I do love reading but the reason i want to read this book is because i want to see the many different ways people want to secretly hide fake reading.
