Overview

Cheesie Mack is back, in a summer camp adventure with terrific camp friends--and terrifying camp enemies! Cheesie and Georgie are back, and this time they're off to the greatest summer camp in Maine. As the oldest of the Little Guy campers, they'll get to make the campfires and choose the sports teams. It's sure to be their best summer yet! Then disaster strikes. Cheesie and Georgie are put in a cabin with the Big Guy campers, including Cheesie's archenemy, Kevin Welch. Now the youngest-and smallest-of the Big Guys, Cheesie has no choice but to use his brains to fight Kevin's brawn-he challenges the bully to a Cool Duel. The adventure that follows includes a toilet on a wall, a headless skateboarder, a garter snake mustache, and the scariest ghost story ever told. Will Cheesie survive to start middle school? With plenty of lists, drawings, and made-up words, Cheesie-with a little help from Steve Cotler-tells the story of the best worst summer ever.

Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, April 15, 2012: <br>Can Cheesie Mack keep his cool and survive a summer in the Big Guys' cabin? <br>At the close of Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything (2011), soon-to-be-sixth-grader Ronald Cheesie Mack and his best friend Georgie secured the funds to go to summer camp on Bufflehead Lake in Maine.

Periodically throughout the text, Cheesie directs readers to his website to answer questions or offer opinions, many of which are commented on by Cheesie himself. These interactions are a lagniappe; readers without access to the Internet can enjoy the book thoroughly without it. McCauley's black-and-white spot illustrations are just icing on the cake. <br>The promise of volume three on the way will have readers cheering.
