Jake the Fake Keeps His Cool




For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Big Nate comes the third book in this laugh-out-loud series about a class clown faking his way through middle school from comedian and film star Craig Robinson, #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Mansbach, and NAACP History Maker recipient and cartoonist Keith Knight.

Life couldn't be better for Jake. He's a student at Music and Arts Academy and a budding comedian, and he finally put an end to his fake-ster ways . . . or so he thought. There's a new girl at school, and Jake would do anything to impress her, even pretending to be a master chef. And a world-renowned barber?

But at home, Jake is less impressed with his mom's news: she's pregnant. Now Jake has to fake being happy about becoming the Middle Child. The King of Cool is about to drop his chill.

Luckily, he has good friends and laughs on his side.

Praise for Jake the Fake Keeps His Cool

Praise for the Jake the Fake series:
"Narrator Sullivan Jones's unique narrative style easily complements the story. His smooth transitions and distinguishable character voices draw listeners into Jake's world...Fans of Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Gordon Korman's Ungifted will enjoy listening to this book."--School Library Journal

"Fans of the Wimpy Kid series should add this book to their reading list. For anyone in need of a good laugh, Jake the Fake will definitely not disappoint. But there's more to this book than its humor. The authors somehow manage to make you chuckle while at the same time imparting important life lessons."--Time for Kids
