About Me

Ronald 'Cheesie' Mack
Me

Hi!

Everyone calls me Cheesie, but my real name is Ronald A. Mack. The A is for Apton, which is a weird middle name. It’s my mother’s maiden name. I think most kids HATE their middle names. I actually don’t. R. Apton Mack is actually kind of cool sounding…but I like Cheesie best.

Here’s some stuff about me:

  1. I have brown hair, brown eyes, and three freckles on my nose. I also have a whitish scar on my thumb where a fishhook stabbed me when I was on a lake with my dad. I was eight and fooling around. Don’t ask.
  2. My birthday is August 16. I’m now 11, which is, IMO, a very cool age to be.
  3. My ears stick out. But you can probably see that in my picture above. It used to bother me, but now that I’ve written about my ears in my book, a zagillion (that’s a gazillion times bigger than a gazillion) people know, so I say…so what? And this is the last time I’m going to mention them on my website!
  4. I have three grandparents (plus one who died a long time ago), two aunts, two uncles, and two first cousins. I also have the meanest older sister in Massachusetts. Cheesie's Family TreeMaybe the United States. Maybe the world! Those tiny boxes and circles to the right are my family tree (which I made as a school assignment in fourth grade). Click on it to see it bigger and learn more about everyone in my family.
  5. I am a very fast runner. One of the fastest in my class, but I haven’t actually raced every kid. I’m on the sixth grade cross country team.
  6. I like sports. Especially baseball and soccer. And I’m a good swimmer.
  7. I read lots of books. Especially adventures.
  8. I love to write about my adventures.
  9. I love words.
  10. And I like making lists…like this one.

  2. Omg I love your book I read it everyday at school I’m only a couple of paragraphs away I can’t wait to finish it and get to the end .since you mentioned your site all the time I went on it.i wanted to ask you what does IMO mean. You say that all the time and I just wonder and try to think of what it is but nothing popped up in my head so I just asked if you can tell me what that means oh and keep up the good work your books are the best and I really like in book one the paragraph about the haunted toad that’s my favorite one but that’s all I have to say

  3. Cheesie, in my 5th grade class my teacher is reading your first book for read aloud, it is so funny! i really wish you would come to my school, if you could find the time to do that email me. it would be the best to have you come to my school.i need to go to the library to get your other books to read them. thanks you very much.

    1. I like all sports, but because I’m small, I’m not so good at some of them…like basketball.
      Baseball and soccer are my best.

  7. hey cheesie im doing an essay on you and i need to know what year your first book took place in. thanks ur the best from a really big fan k.c p.s im 13

  8. In your book”chessie mack is not a genius or anything”you did a good thing that you gave ms.prott the right penny but you still got one back.Did georgie come to the camp with you

    1. French fries, BBQ chicken or ribs, Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray soda (weird, huh?), Milk Duds.

  9. My whole family likes your book because whenever I finish a book I tell them about it.

  10. Hey Cheesie
    My name is Neb Harrington from New Zealand. I love your writing about your life because its a bit like my life. Instead of an evil older sister, I have a super annoying brother. I like all my friends but like you and Georgie, I have a super best friend named Billy and instead of camp friends, I have ski friends who come down in the winter to train for skiing. I think the reason that kids love your writing because they can relate your books to their life like me.I particularly like book 2 because the characters are hilarious including Lenny and the Dutcher. Also, if I could go to a perfect summer camp I would be in cabin F with you, Georgie and Lenny(and not Alex Welch.)
    I think it would be cool to be able to do robotics and it would be really fun being able to program mini cars and drive them thorough obstacles. I have only done archery once and I nearly hit a goat. OOPS. I would have also like to see where that kid had shot that arrow into the tree.
    The other reason I liked book 2 is that I have never been to summer camp and I some times imagined myself there.

    Similarly, in book 3,I also picture myself being class president of my grade. I liked how you mixed up the election with Cheesie …crossed out by Cheesie… Also, I like running crazy like Cheesie but not how he runs like he does on the cover of the book.

    If you can write back to me I would like to hear about what is going to happen in your next books. Also it would be cool to write about Cheesie, Georgie and his family going on a ski trip when they are stuck in a snow blizzard. Cheesie, Georgie and Goon would have to share a room for a week in cabin where they could not get back home.
    In closing I would like to say that you are one of my top 3 authors.

    Neb your #1 fan.

    1. Wow, Ben/Neb! You really read my books carefully. Thanks! Since I don’t want to spoil the story for other kids who haven’t read it as closely as you have, I have removed part of your comment (you can tell where because I have replaced the give-away part with …crossed out by Cheesie…).
      I really appreciate how much time and effort you devoted to me and my books. You are definitely one of my #1 fans!

  11. Hi Cheesie, remember u said that we can ask how your b-day went? Well I want to know how it went. I can tell u about my b-day if u want to see how it went. P.S. Your books r awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. Well, hi, Cheesie. Rmb you told your readers to say ‘hi’? Also, your book(To be specific, Cheesie Mack is Not a Genius or Anything) is awesome. Weird how your sister(If you like it, Goon) and you fight all the time. Does your sister know that you call her Goon anyway? If she does… I guess she will be fuming mad.

    *You know I’m from Singapore?

    1. She knows I call her Goon…and it makes her mad. I have gotten a few comments from readers in Singapore. I have never been to Singapore.

  13. Why does Georgie look like Frankenstein or a robot on the cover of Cheesie Mac Is Not a Genius or Anything?
