Oggie Cooder

From the author of So B. It, a super charming middle-grade Napoleon Dynamite with heart - the tale of a very average boy who''s put in his school''s spotlight when his averageness appeals to a TV show.

Oggie Cooder has a talent -- he can charve better than anyone else in Truman Elementary School. (Charving, for the uninitiated, is the carving of a piece of cheese with one''s teeth.) Oggie doesn''t think this is anything special -- but his whole school will soon be disagreeing with him. Because after he inadvertently charves during a nationwide hunt for unusual talents, his charving puts him on the path to fame and fortune. Suddenly, he''s the star of the school . . . but he''s not sure that he wants to shine that way. This is Sarah Weeks at her best -- funny, clever, and kid-friendly.
