Jake the Fake Keeps it Real manages to fit some real life middle school hardships and lesson in, while still being utterly hilarious. Okay, this book was adorable! I admit I was kind of wondering how Craig Robinson was going to tackle a Middle Grade book, since his humor is usually more on the adult side, but I shouldn’t have worried at all. More jokester than composer, Jake will have to think of something quick before the last laugh is on him.įeaturing more than 160 illustrations, Jake the Fake is sure to bring the laughs with his hilarious high jinks! Which is a real problem because Jake just faked his way into the Music and Art Academy for the gifted and talented (and Jake is pretty sure he is neither). And his art? It’s better suited for Pictionary than Picasso. Jake can barely play an instrument, not even a kazoo.
