About This Book
My name is Charlie Joe Jackson. and I hate reading. And if you're reading this book. you hate reading. too.
In fact. you do whatever you can to avoid reading. and the fact that you're holding a book in your hand right now is kind of shocking.
Charlie Joe Jackson may be the most reluctant reader ever born. And so far, he's managed to get through life without ever reading an entire book from cover to cover. But now that he's in middle school, avoiding reading isn't as easy as it used to be. And when his friend Timmy McGibney decides that he's tired of covering for him, Charlie Joe finds himself resorting to desperate measures to keep his perfect record intact.This is the hilarious story of an avid non-reader and the extreme lengths to which he'll go to get out of reading a book.
