You can never get on the summer brain drain early enough! Get those kids reading right off the bat and you can literally watch their brains grow over the break. The book I am profiling today is the perfect story to start their summer off right!
In our house we designate 30 minutes of reading time Monday through Friday. Everyone stops and picks up a book … yes even mom. Now the kids can of course read any other time they want to, but by reading together it creates feeling of community. No one thinks reading is a punishment. Instead it’s something we do together. Everyone has their favorite spot in our side yard with pillows and a place to prop up their feet. Mom has even been known to provide snacks!

- Cameron is every kid who sits on the couch and just wants to be left alone while they play. Sound familiar? Kids will relate to Cameron and his game playing addiction.
- This story is told in multiple perspectives and short chapters which makes it an engaging read. Korman is a skilled author and so there are plenty of laugh inducing moments. This book reads quickly and it’s funny, making it a winner from the start.
- I have been liking Korman’s recent books. I was totally caught up in this story and wanted to see how long Cameron could hold out and remain a slacker. Of course the less Cameron does, the more people in the school revere him for being their fearless leader of PAG. Oh the irony!
