Clueless McGee #2
Clueless McGee and the Inflatable Pants: Book 2
For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Timmy Failure!
What do you mean they don't give trophies for playing video games? It’s only fair, isn’t it? Clueless McGee has mastered his Ninja Warz video game and he’d like a trophy. It seems like a lot of extra work to have to win the science fair to get one. . . . Yet that trophy is REALLY nice. And Clueless does have an idea for a magnetic pickle that seems like an obvious winner. So okay, he’s in. Until someone steals the trophy—and then he’s on the case! Clueless will have to call on his finest ninja skills —not to mention some luck and a lot of help from people more competent than he is—in order to solve the mystery. . . .
Jeff Mack continues to hit every note just right in this hilarious series that young middle-graders will be reading, rereading, and exchanging with their friends until (and even after) the next installment lands on the shelves. With comic-style art throughout, this book is perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Big Nate, Dork Diaries and for any kid who likes mysteries, likes to laugh, and is a video game master!

What did I just read? 😂 My son checked out this book and I decided to read so I can quiz his comprehension of what he read. I found myself confused and laughing. Very creative book for kids. I can see why my son enjoyed this.

Readers may worry that they will be clueless with this second book in the Clueless McGee series, but have no fear, it can be a stand alone read.
I have to admit, I was leery at first glance: the letter-writing style and illustrations scream Wimpy Kid fan book. But I quickly became a fan of this book and will recommend it to all my students looking for a humorous read (Wimpy Kid fans and all).
In this story, PJ is encouraged by Principal Prince to lessen his ninja obsession and expand his mind by joining the Rocket Science Club. That doesn't sound exciting to PJ until he learns he can win the official Rocket Science trophy for creating an exceptional invention. PJ's new obsession then becomes winning the science trophy (and also still ninjas) until the trophy is stolen. He then puts his detective skills to work to find his (er, the school's) missing Rocket Science trophy.

Recommended for: 2nd-5th graders (8-11 year olds) who like humor and wonder what else is there to read besides Wimpy Kid books

The most clueless wannabe ninja is back, this time to solve the case of the missing science trophy. Readers will laugh out loud at the scrapes the main character gets himself in and will more than likely figure out the mystery long before him too.
Highly recommend this series to fans of the Wimpy Kid and Capatain Underpants series. Grades 3-5.

I found this pretty entertaining.
It is similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but different story line and more comics.
