If you are feeling bored, Cheesie Mack and his best friend, Georgie, will perk you right up. The narrator is Ronald Mack, a.k.a. Cheesie. Cheesie Mack and Georgie ride bikes everyday and race each other all over town. Just like many of you, the boys have good computer skills and it comes in handy when they find a mysterious envelope containing an old necklace and a 1909 penny. Curious to find where the contents come from, Cheesie and Georgie embark on a discovery- filled adventure which includes almost getting arrested, making several visits to The Haunted Toad, a coin store, and finding J.G. Prott.
Readers pay attention to Abraham Lincoln’s head, the point battle, which involves Cheesie and his older sister; June the Goon, the mouse plot which connects to graduation, lawbreaking zoom chucklers, Ee-Gorg and Doctor Cheese; and the letters, V, D, and B. Believe me, this novel is action-packed, hilarious, and at times, poignant. Cheesie encourages the reader to check out his interactive website for more information on topics including coins, made-up words, sow bugs, frog and toad leg lengths, and how to toss things over your head backward with your toes.
One of the coolest things about this book is the vocabulary! No kidding, there are fabulous made- up words, like taking a big bite of a Blart sandwich. Guess what goes into a Blart sandwich? Would you eat one? Cheesie and Georgie love words, real dictionary words and made-up words. Your vocabulary will increase just reading the book and you’ll definitely be able to impress your parents and teachers! Plus, with any luck you might become known as a Neologist! This will impress your friends, parents, and teachers! You can’t lose!
For a rocking good time in your head, I highly recommend this first book of the series and then check out the website! Grades 4-7.
