Graduation day is finally here! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharlie Joe has been waiting for this moment his entire middle school career.  This might even be the best day of his life. No more teachers! No more books! Just make it through the ceremony and he's free. But suddenly things around him are starting to change.

And come to think of it, doesn't high school bring more teachers and more books? Maybe this whole growing up thing isn't such a good idea after all. Actually being a kid is pretty darn fun! Surely Charlie Joe can figure out a way to put the brakes on growing up-and fast!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith laugh-out-loud humor and quirky illustrations, this book is perfect for reluctant readers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooks in the Charlie Joe Jackson series:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Extra Credit\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Summer Vacation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Making Money\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Planet Girl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Growing Up\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon't forget Charlie Joe's friends!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKatie Friedman Gives Up Texting!
