Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything by Steve Cotler
1.0
Part of my Caudill/Bluestem/Monarch challenge.
Cheesie Mack is graduating from fifth grade and looking forward to the best summer of all time. That is until his best friend can't go to summer camp. Cheesie decides not to go to summer camp either. Instead he'll have to work on winning the point war against his sister. And then, he and Georgie find a mysterious envelope with a penny and a necklace in it. Who does the penny belong to and can they find that person?
Blech... I did not enjoy this book at all. I know I complain regularly about characters acting too old for their age, and now I'm going to complain about characters acting their age. Perhaps Cheesie Mack was absolutely realistic, but I just found myself annoyed by him. And his sister was even worse. I understand fighting my siblings. In fact, we used to fight tooth and nail. But I would never have talked back to a teacher like that. The mystery was mildly interesting. I suppose people will enjoy reading that bit. Unfortunately, the whole thing was undermined by the annoying characters.
