Korman, Gordon Slacker, 240 pages. Scholastic, 2016. $17.
Content: G.
Cameron has made it his life’s goal to do as little as
possible – school work, house work, chores – so that he can spend all of his
free time practicing his video gaming skills for the Rule the World
convention. When he lets dinner burn and
his front door is bashed in by the fire department, he and his wingmen create a
fake school club to make his parents believe he has turned over a new
leaf. The plan backfires when kids at
school actually want to join his club.
Chaos ensues when the high school charity group gets angry with the
middle schoolers for taking their fund-raising jobs and an elusive beaver
resists their attempts at relocating him.
Cameron is going to actually have to find a change of heart if he is
going to sort out all of this craziness.
Korman has crafted another book of good-hearted
wackiness. It takes a while for the point
of real change to come for Cameron, but it does finally come (I had almost
given up hope). Korman fans or fans of
humorous fiction will enjoy the humor and maybe they will even learn the lesson
– who knows!
