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.

Cameron Boxer is a slacker that is for sure. He doesn't like anything to get in the way of his "lifestyle" which includes playing non-stop video games.Cameron hopes to play in the Rule the World video game contest. But things change when Cameron almost burns down his house because he was so into a video game. Cameron's parents say that he can't play in Rule the World unless he does something positive. Then Cameron gets an idea to start a fake club the Positive Action Group. He won't do anything with it only put up a fake page on the school website. But when people start taking an interest in the club will Cameron actually have to do something?

This book is really hilarious-especially that he is kind of similar to my friends! Just like them, they always try to dodge homework, except there not a slacker-that is lazy and not doing any work. I really recommend this book because its funny and also, its really funny how hes like most of us!

This book was ok. It was a little bit like its title. Not a big plot like a wanted. Still good for lazy folk who want a lazy book.
