Slacker, I would say I enjoyed this book maybe not as much as Gordon Korman's Restart but it was still enjoyable. I would say the biggest issue was that I felt like the main character didn't understand why his idea wasn't working and to me I could easily see this problem. But don't get me wrong, it was still a good book! I would recommend this book!

Cameron Boxer is very happy to spend his life avoiding homework, hanging out with his friends, and gaming for hours in his basement. It's not too hard for him to get away with it . . . until he gets so caught up in one game that he almost lets his house burn down around him.
Oops.
It's time for some serious damage control--so Cameron and his friends invent a fake school club that will make it seem like they're doing good deeds instead of slacking off. The problem? Some kids think the club is real--and Cameron is stuck being president.
Soon Cameron is part of a mission to save a beaver named Elvis from certain extinction. Along the way, he makes some new friends--and some powerful new enemies. The guy who never cared about anything is now at the center of everything . . . and it's going to take all his slacker skills to win this round.

People tell me don't judge a book by its cover, but the cover is soooo cute with the chubby little beaver eating chips and drinking soda, and the best part is that he's holding that tiny little controller!!!!
Gordon Korman's book is amazing. I liked it better than his old books, like schooled.
I loved it so much. Gordon Korman is one of my favorite authors. He writes so many good books including slacker. I definitely recommend this one.
Greatest book ever
The Gordon Korman has the most incredible books in the world. He wrote so many books and they are so incredible. I really wish I had all of his books, I could practicly read all of them in a day. Books are the most awesome thing in the world real.
Gordan Korman has done it again and has written an ode to us procrastinating, game-loving kids. Filled with humor, the consequences of putting things off, and not listening to your mother it really touched me and made me think "huh that reminds me of me..." I suggest that all kids read this book to understand putting things off won't change anything and the past will come to haunt you. With hilarious twists, I give Slacked a 5/5 and recommend it for ages 8+. Happy Readings, bean_boy
