In his third adventure, Cheesie and his best friend, Georgie, are off to middle school, where there will be lots of new kids and new teachers.

Cheesie Mack is starting 6th grade and middle school. He decides to run for class president, but finds out one of his friends is also running. So they hatch a plan to get Georgie, Cheesie's best friend elected instead. Cheesie becomes Georgie's campaign manager. Cheesie also has to contend with his 8th grade sister Goon (June) who wants to sabotage him at every turn.
This is a book for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and books like that. Cheesie is a funny character that I am sure boys will like. The story is fine, but nothing really that special. However, this book isn't the most fun to read. It makes constant, and I do mean constant, references to the earlier books in the series. And they are not your harmless references, but pitches to make you go out and buy the previous books. It doesn't tell you what happened but says things like "you can read about that in my other book". There are also a lot of references to the website in addition to the books. It is super annoying to read these things over and over and over again.

First and foremost, this book is part of a series--one which the author is shamelessly attempting to sell throughout the entire book. In Chapters 1 & 2 (pp.4-25), the narrator refers to his other books 5 times. I'd say that pace continues throughout the book between references to previous books, hints at what is to come in future books, and promptings to go to Cheesie Mack's website to respond to the book, get more information, take part in surveys, etc. This book does not stand on its own.
The book is entertaining--I think it would probably appeal to middle school humor. Most kids can relate to the difficulties and complexities of the relationship between Cheesie and his sister.
Cheesie and his friends are starting 6th grade. I think the book has appropriately captured this time in kids' lives with all the insecurities that come along. I just wish it weren't a blatant commercial for the authors other books--already published and in the works. If that were the case, I would have given it more than 2 stars.

Book 3 in the series.
Cheesie Mack is going to be in 6th grade and entering middle school. He decides that the best way to meet people, make new friends, and enjoy middle school is by running for president.
Written in Wimpy-Kid-style with a combination of text and pictures, it will appeal to the same audience. Constantly refers back to events from the first two books, which I personally found annoying but did not detract from this storyline.

Another great Cheesie adventure. This time middle school politics are involved and more friends help him out! I think what I like most about this series is that It is not all about Cheesie he is always looking out for his friends, even though it is an autobiography,

I love the way the author makes this book series web interactive with questions and surveys and videos for the reader to partake in. He also adds vocabulary words throughout the story and I love that too.
