Bookroo's summary

Charlie Joe Jackson, the ultimate non-reader, faces a dilemma: get straight As or endure academic camp. To succeed, he might betray a friend, lose his crush, and star in a bizarre school play. Can Charlie Joe navigate these challenges without losing everything he values? Desperate times call for desperate measures in this humorous tale of middle school survival.

From the publisher

Charlie Joe Jackson, the most reluctant reader ever born, made it his mission in the first book to get through middle school without reading a single book from cover to cover. Now he’s back–and trying desperately to get straight As in order to avoid going to academic camp for the summer. To do this, he will have to betray his friend, lose the girl of his dreams, and end up acting in a school play about the inventor of paper towels. Charlie Joe’s not exactly the school play kind of guy, but desperate times call for desperate measures, in Charlie Joe Jackson’s Guide to Extra Credit by Tommy Greenwald.
