Middle school has Cheesie Mack on the run. List-loving, 11-year-old Ronald "Cheesie" Mack is back for his third outing, and this time, he's embarking on the grand adventure of sixth grade at a new school...one he must, unfortunately, share with his eighth-grade sister June (Goon). Cheesie decides to run for class president and then decides his best friend (since kindergarten) Georgie should run instead. As they mount the strangest campaign ever, Cheesie continues his epic Point Battle against his sister (a secret game in which they score points for embarrassing or pranking each other). He also discovers track and field, kind of decides that girls are OK to hang out with and does a (sort of) good deed for Goon. Fans of teacher and children's entertainer Cotler's chatty, engaging Cheesie titles will be overjoyed with Cheesie's evolving character and continued good humor and imagination. This stands alone, but events of the first two are referenced; as with the previous volumes, he invites readers to interact on his website. New-to-this-volume illustrator Holgate's frequent black-and-white illustrations, often labeled by Cheesie, add to the fun. Cheesie announces Volume 4 with a tantalizing list of what to expect, so the fun's not over yet. (Fiction. 8-12)COPYRIGHT(2013) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

In this third installment, eleven-year-old Ronald (a.k.a. Cheesie) lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts, with his older sister (a.k.a. Goon) and their parents. The lightweight story centers on Cheesie's friend problems, a middle-school class election, and the cross-country team. Series fans won't mind frequent references to the earlier stories (and a website); newcomers will need to get up to speed.(Copyright 2013 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
