Bookroo's summary

Jake fakes his way into the prestigious Music and Art Academy, but there's a catch—he can't play an instrument or create art. As a jokester, he must navigate this world of talent without being exposed. Will his quick wit save him, or will the truth come out? With over 160 illustrations, follow Jake's hilarious journey as he tries to keep the last laugh from being on him.

From the publisher

For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Big Nate comes the first book in a side-splitting illustrated series from comedian and film star Craig Robinson, #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Mansbach, and NAACP History Maker recipient and cartoonist Keith Knight. Jake can barely play an instrument, not even a kazoo. And his art? It’s better suited for Pictionary than Picasso. Which is a real problem because Jake just faked his way into the Music and Art Academy for the gifted and talented (and Jake is pretty sure he is neither). More jokester than composer, Jake will have to think of something quick before the last laugh is on him. Featuring more than 160 illustrations, Jake the Fake is sure to bring the laughs with his hilarious high jinks!
