My name is Cam Boxer, and video games are my life. I'm going to get thousands of people to watch me play online, and then I'll have a job that I love! The only problem is this club I kind of started at school. I wasn't serious about it, but now hundreds of classmates have joined and want to help me perform community service. I don't have time for that! It's really interfering with my gaming. One good thing that's happened is Elvis. I've discovered this local beaver loves to watch me play video games, and my viewers like to watch him watch me. The rodent stinks and leaves a mess, but I know he's going to help me get fifty thousand subscribers. The recalled, controversial video game I found won't hurt either. I'm going to have the best career ever!I had already started the book before discovering it's the second one in a series. It has Korman's usual style and tone with normal kid topics mixed with humorous dialogue and situations. Elvis provides an extra touch of wackiness. Cam has an amazing knack for being lazy but somehow always comes out smelling like roses. It drives his sister crazy, and I tend to agree with her. Korman includes concepts of friendship, public service, environmental conservation, and family. One of Cam's buddies gets his first girlfriend, and it helps to complicate the plot. She also provides some relief for Cam, as he allows a misunderstanding to get blown way out of control. He has mixed emotions about the situation, and it becomes very important in the plot's climax and resolution. As expected, Cam emerges from a horrendous, embarrassing problem into the revered hero of the school. How does he do it? You'll love the book if you like to laugh and you like video games. I recommend you give it a shot.
