The topic might sound a little strange (carving slices of American cheese with my teeth? no thanks), but the story is cute and Oggie Cooder is an endearing character that most kids will find relatable. ( )

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 inadvertantly charves during a nationwide hunt for unusual talents, his charving puts him on the path to fame and forture. 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. ( )

Third graders will love this book. Charve...eating cheese into shapes.
Good characters, and story line. ( )

Cute, super quick read, kinda quirky. Reminds me of my insane childhood love of processed cheese. So glad I moved on to real cheddar. ( )

Weird kid named oggie cooder started as a regular 4th grader to a famous 4th grader what a transformation.Charving is not a easy thing to do but oggie had the guts to do it . ( )
