Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything
Kirkus Reviews:"Readers will be happy to learn that Cotler's debut is the first in a new series. Cheesie chattily narrates his own story; his voice rings true, and the other characters are a gently quirky, appealing lot."Publishers Weekly:"Fifth-grader Ronald 'Cheesie' Mack's problems (like how to outsmart his evil older sister June, aka 'Goon') may be ordinary, but in the hands of first-time author Cotler they're plenty entertaining."Booklist:"Cheesie and his book are basic, good old-fashioned fun."The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books:"A lighthearted and fast-moving read for kids looking for middle-school shenanigans."The Horn Book Magazine:"The pleasures are in meeting a new friend--and in the promise of a sequel to this debut novel."
