Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading by Tommy Greenwald (author) (US edition)

Charlie Joe thinks reading is total doo-doo. So here’s his book for all kids who hate books. However much you hate them, you can’t be as reluctant a reader as Charlie. So far, he’s managed to get through his entire life without ever reading a whole book. But now that he’s in middle school, avoiding reading isn’t as easy as it used to be. And when his friend Timmy gets tired of covering for him, Charlie must go to desperate measures to keep his record intact… A snort-through-your-nose funny book to read in secret under the bedcovers. Or not to read. Yes, that is possible. Charlie Joe will show you how.
