Oggie Cooder loves cheese so much that he carries a slice of cheese with him wherever he goes. It's not just for a snack -- Oggie is an excellent charver (charving is when you chew a piece of cheese to carve it in the shape of something). The kids at school think Oggie's charving is a little strange. But when a big TV show comes looking for people with unusual talents, Oggie is suddenly Mr. Popular. Can Oggie charve a path to fame and score an invite...

Neither a long list of rules, nor the inability to find the perfect gift--Cheddar Jam--nor being locked in a bathroom with a juggling bear will keep quirky fourth-grader Oggie Cooder from attending neighbor Donnica Perfecto's birthday pool party.
