This is assigned for my 11 year old’s summer reading. Cute story about a gamer whose parents mandate he join at least one club other than gaming. A fake club to trick his parents becomes something real and he learns about living a bigger life. Easy read with some funny parts that would appeal to lots of kids.
Too many POV for me,but I loved this gamer/ slacker tale. Perfect for middle school booktalks
Another fun read by Korman and perfect for grades 5-7.
My son really likes this author and gave me this one to start.
A videogaming kid (Cam Boxer) who only cares about video games creates a fake club called PAG (Positive Action Group) to get his parents off his case. The club, to his dismay, takes the entire middle school by storm, inciting community service and good deeds, except Cam. The high school Friends of Fuzzy are the antagonists lol, wanting to take the middle schoolers down to ensure that the President of the fuzzies gets into Harvard.

Korman has done it again. Creating a fun story that is relevant to today's readers and doused with lots of humor. Korman is a genius at writing

Cam's life revolves around video games. When he almost burns down his home because he's too absorbed in the game to take dinner out of the oven, his parents decide it's time for him to find an extracurricular activity to get involved in. Cam concocts the perfect scheme. He creates a fake service club, the Positive Action Group. The only flaw in his plan is that interest in the club takes off, despite his best efforts to have a fake club that doesn't do anything. I love how this book addresses the need for community service, yet keeps the story light and funny.
