Zeke Meeks vs the Horrifying TV-Turnoff Week

No TV for a week? DRATS! What is Zeke supposed to do now?Zeke is a smart little COOKIE (he even likes crossword puzzles). In fact, he knows lots of stuff. He likes MATH (sort of?!?!).I’m going to have lots of Zeke Meeks books! I want more! Thanks D. L. and Josh!

My son hates reading but I make hom read every night. I have tried many books to spark his interest but havent really found any. He needed chapter books and these ended up being perfect. Teh chapters arent too long and the main character is an 8 year old 3rd grader so he relates. We read a chapter every night and he is on his 3rd book. My 1st grader 6 year old loves them too. I read a chapter to him every night and hae him try to read a few paragraphs. I hope more come out in the series so he can keep reading!

Loved this one! The science fair is a big deal at our school and this story was hilariously fun for my son.

i love to read it. I recommend it to people who love video games, tv, and funny books. If you like this book you should read the others.

We love Zeke Meeks! My son is a huge fan of this series! It's totally boy friendly. By this I mean boys can relate with Zeke. Yes, it has things boys love and aren't too fond of which at this age does include girls. Or kissing. Or anything 'girly'.The writing is hilarious and kept my son in stitches. He wanted more!What I especially loved about this book was how Zeke's boredom of not being able to watch TV for a week changed by being exposed to something he liked. No spoilers but I'll give you a hint: Outer Space.Just like my own son at this age, the attics and humor of Zeke rang so true.I'm a huge fan of books that encourage young children to want to read. And this series fits that bill!

My son and daughter love these books my daughter read almost the whole series and this book is not just for boys

Any book that entices kids to read is a good book on my list! This author really gets kids! That's why the students in my daughter's second grade class can't get enough of the Zeke Meeks series. These books are very current and lots of fun.

I am shocked that this was part of our schools curriculum as an option for reading material, and I have let his teacher/ principle know. I continue to struggle to find quality literature for my children that does not necessarily include the classics. These books are filled with phrases like "girls are stupid, my sister is stupid and my mother is stupid" as well name calling "you're a freak" and bullying with little resolution. They are not isolated incidents but they are attitudes and language used thought the books. This is not what I want my kids reading, living or learning about. Returned these the day we got them.

Funny plot with simple characters for developing readers. The readability is appropriate for children who are just beginning chapter books. The character is a boy with two sisters and would appeal to boys in Grade 2/3 age group. Highly recommend!
