They’re probably more calm, less crazy, and probably have more painting. I don’t really think art schools are that crazy. Allen, was probably part genius and part nuts. He is sort of talented, but not in music and art. I thought he might get caught, but I also thought maybe he would make it. So he started doing really weird things and making up ideas to stay in the school. Then he starts wanting to be the weirdest kid in the school because he didn’t want people finding out that he was a fake. Jake the Fake Keeps it Real is about this boy that fakes his way into a music and art academy middle school. But the real test came when I asked my daughter what she thought about it. There are enough of them scattered through the pages that even younger and reluctant readers will be pulled into the story. With its goofy style and humor filled pages, this book adds a slice of fun to a young kid’s reading diet. I read the book after she finished with it and was happily surprised by how funny it was. She read the entire thing in just a couple of days.

The minute this book showed up on my doorstep, my nine-year-old daughter snatch it up and disappeared. YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat Thoughts: They were super cute and really made it a lot of fun! The illustrations really lifted this book to another level. It was a really short book but Jake developed really well over those pages. Jake was a delightful main character and his take on the world was really funny.

I quite liked all the craziness associated with the artsy school - it was one wild antic after another and I was thoroughly entertained throughout! This one ended up being a cute, quick story. He'll just have to go to the school anyway and fake it until he makes it! The problem is, I can never tell if she's serious or messing with me.At any rate, Jake is already in too deep.

His older sister also goes to the school.though she isn't as much help as he had hoped. Now he's afraid that everyone will figure out his secret (that the amazing piano song he auditioned with is actually the only song he knows). Well, my plan of hoping that summer would never end and school would never start has failed.Jake just got into the Music and Art Academy for the gifted and talented, and his parents are overjoyed.
