Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2011
Hardcover/eBook, 240 pages, $15.99

Ronald "Cheesie" Mack is not a genius or anything, but he remembers everything that happened before, during, and after fifth-grade graduation, and he's written it all down in his own unique and hilarious way, with lots of lists, drawings, and made-up words. Cheesie -- with a little help from Steve Cotler and black-and-white illustrations by Adam McCauley (Illustration faculty) throughout -- writes about family, friendship, and tough choices with great humor. Steve Cotler is also the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
