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:
- 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.
- My birthday is August 16. I’m now 11, which is, IMO, a very cool age to be.
- 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!
- 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. Maybe 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.
- 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.
- I like sports. Especially baseball and soccer. And I’m a good swimmer.
- I read lots of books. Especially adventures.
- I love to write about my adventures.
- I love words.
- And I like making lists…like this one.
If you want to know anything else about me, just ask below.
I really likedyour book.
it was really fun
Hi Cheesie!!! You just came to my school a couple weeks ago. I go to McClure Elementary. I’m reading your first book. I am really enjoying it!
Wow…it was icy in Texas!
Can you ice skate? If you do, YOU ARE AWESOME!! LOL sorry ice skating is basically my life.
I am a pretty good ice skater, but not great. Georgie is the same as me. But Lana is fabulous. She can do tricks like double toe loops and axels and things I do not know the names of. When she skates, people stop to watch. I think she could be in the Olympics if she practiced a lot.
Does anyone check your books after you write them cheesie? And I mean anyone besides the publisher… >.<
The publishing company has an editor who goes over them VERY carefully. He makes me rewrite them until they are perfect. In fact, I rewrote books #1 and #2 seven times after the first draft was turned in!
Have you ever been to a school in District 21? Which one?
Nope. But I’d like to. Why not ask your librarian to ask me to come.

In your books Goon seems so devious!

Sure, I remember! Your building is beautiful, and you’re near some railroad tracks.
Do you have a crush on anybody?
Nope. No one.
Yaya

No, I’m Ronald “Cheesie” Mack. He’s just the name on my books.
What is your favorite food?
I like lots of food. I am not a picky eater at all. I even like okra, and I have eaten snails. Probably lobster is my favorite, but I like Mexican food and Chinese food and pizza and Indian curries, and Thai food, and steak and…
You like eat
