MacLeod Andrews does a marvelous job bringing the non-reading Charlie Joe Jackson to life. In his capable hands, Charlie Jo comes off as a funny, goofball middle schooler on an ill-advised mission to defend his right not to read. Well worth a listen and a chuckle is guaranteed. One very minor hiccup in the production is that Shel Silverstein is mentioned and the narrator pronounces it Silver-"stine" not "steen." Joan Kindig
