A review by mizzlroy
Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Summer Vacation by Tommy Greenwald

After each book in this series, I find that I like Charlie a little more. His character is developing in a very natural way for a middle school boy. In this installment of the series, Charlie is sent to summer camp. Doesn’t sound too bad—but it isn’t a normal summer camp. It is a summer camp for learning, in other words, a camp for nerds. Sarcastic as always, Charlie tells his story in a humorous and relatable fashion. Charlie has developed into a boy beginning to find interest in girls and growing as a character with each new book.
