Description: Steve Cotler,
I am an author and an educator. My Cheesie Mack series is funny, engaging, and stealthily pedagogical. And that’s who I am when I visit schools. Since its 2011 publication by Random House, I have taken Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything to over 225 schools across the country, encouraging and challenging more than 50,000 students (grades 3-5) to connect with its fictional, 11-year-old narrator. Teachers and librarians seem to love the book. It has been nominated for best-book-of-the-year awards in f
In an authentically fifth-grade voice, Cheesie brings alive, with buoyant energy, unstoppable curiosity, and great humor, those anything-is-possible years between the dependency of little kids and the awkwardness and insecurity of adolescents. And there's plenty of totally excellent, school-worthy vocabulary words. Plus laughing...lots of laughing. It all starts with Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything . Want to read an excerpt ?
