Slacker by Gordon Korman

3.0

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.
