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.
What are other speutiful pranks you and Georgie thought?
I put them in my books. You’ll have to read to find out.

Chessie could you do me a favor and ask georgie what his favorite video game is? Also ask him what gaming console he has.
Hey Chessie I love your books. Do you like to play video games. If you do what is your favorite? I heard you play baseball and soccer. I play baseball, football, basketball, and BMX racing. Chessie would you mind coming to a school in montgomery alabama. One more thing before I go do you know the song Gangnum Style? If any of you people know that song comment below. Chessie please comment soon. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear chessie, I love your first book,because that is the only one I’ve read. Yesterday we had a ”reading coner” which I call ,and I read at least 20 pages and some this morning,I get board sometimes so I read. There is this program I do and you half to read 20 books and just like your story we have a pizza party and your book got choosen. It’s one of my favorites. I hope to read more by you.

You Shouldn’t Have Done That
Hey Cheesie it’s me Jake how is your year going I can’t read
your books because i’m busy playing “The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask” I have one question do you play the legend of Zelda?
Also I live in Michigan
I have played Zelda a couple of times, but not MM. You can probably guess that I do not have a lot of time for video games because of my writing. (Georgie is excellent at video games!)
I have been to Michigan! I visited schools in Ann Arbor last year. My dad has friends who live in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.
Happy New Year!
Thanks you too if you want to play MM, ask me okay?
AND tell Georgie to play MM it’s a great game if Georgie gets stuck ask me i’m half way through the game
dear cheese Mack,
I dont like your book to much because your just going through the motions in your fourth book I hope you add much more details.

What is your best stroke in swimming? Mine is the backstroke.
The answer is on page 125 in Cheesie Mack Is Cool in a Duel.

ya.
I would’ve answered sooner, but I was eating pumpkin pie and talking to my buddy Mr. Noobly.
hey chessie this is matt actually because i am on my aunts computer right now. i have no idea what to talk about so whenever i get bored i go on your website, not to be mean that your website is boring at all this entertains me so sorry if you have a lot of homework. one question, what is your favorite book besides your book?
Lord of the Rings
Cheesie,
Thank you for letting me know where goon is on the book. And Steve Cotler was right… you do write back to people (be came to my school). And thanks to him I can tell all my friends that you do answer (because they thought you wouldn’t)
Thanks,
Emily
U R v welc
hey chessie how have you been i’ve been ok because my dog just got beaten up by my dad tell me if your dad ever does that to your dog or has. i also tried to pet my dog by the angle of the wall and my knuckle started to bleed after hockey so it really hurts and i’m sorry if this is super long for you to read but i am typing down what is in my mind so see ya.
I hope your dog is okay. That sounds terrible.
Hi,Cheesie! I really like your books! I have a question for you. What is middle school like? I need advice because I am starting middle school next year and since you have finished fifth grade already, you know what to expect. How much homework do you get? Are the classes easy or hard? Hope to here from you soon, Sofia Hargrave
P.S. Say hi to Georgie for me!!
This is Georgie saying hello.
I am answering because I am sixth-grade class president and I know lots about middle school. So here’s the secret to middle school. The classes are hard, but not if you work. Your only problem will come if you slack off. That is my advice.
This is Georgie saying goodbye.
Hi Cheesie,
My name is Emily. I love you’re books! In fact I’m reading “Cheesie Mack is not a genius or any thing” in my class. I love it so far. And by the way me and my friend where trying to find out witch one Goon is on the cover. Please get back to me on this.
Thanks,
Emily
Goon is on the back cover with a big X I wrote all over her. Then you can find her on the front.
you probably did that because your sister goon wrote on your book say on the back of the book that your sister wrote on your book say if im wrong again this is actually matt.
You are correct! I like your nickname, Mr. Noobly!
hey chessie hows your sister doing if she says good kick her in the butt if she says why do you care be annoying to her if she says bad make the point battle so you are ahead p.s. please dot show this comment to your sister and make sure you lock your door so she cant sneak into your room and look at this comment please reply in the next 5 days.
Thanks for your suggestions. My sister NEVER gets to know anything about the Point Battle.
if the point battle secret breaks, tell goon she has -156 points and you have 76. 🙂
He replyed in six days by the way
Can you kick goon in the butt for me? p.s dont show goon this comment
I am not big enough yet to do that. She can STILL wallop me. (Maybe in a year…)
Huge elephant… Hardee har har.
Hi cheesie I luv ur books. The b in my name is benjamin that is me grandma maiden name2.
love,amber
Cool middle name! You could have the nickname “Fifty” because Benjamin Franklin is on the $50 bill!
no, he is on the $100
Yikes! You are right. (I think I made that mistake because I have never actually had a $100 bill in my hand.)
Hi, Ronald [or cheesie] i read your book called Cheesie Mack its not a
genius or anything, and it is amazing i just love it and your sister , i think shes a dork too. [even though i am a girl]. Well, just wanted to write and bytheway the r in my middle name is Robin and just like you i think
my middle name is kinda cool to.
p.s tell Georgie i said hey.
This is Georgie. I am over at Cheesie’s house and I decided I wanted to write some comments too and Cheesie said I could. So he is sitting on his bed playing with Deeb. So I am sitting at his computer and saying hi back to you! There is a girl at our school whose name is Guadalupe, but she calls herself Loopi. And she spells it that way on purpose. She’s funny.
Hi Steve Cotler! You are probably at my school right now! I go to Saint Agnes School in Arlington, MA. I am 11 and in 6th grade there. I am sick today so I missed you but I sent my friend in with my form. I saw you last year and got the first Cheesie Mack book autographed! It was such a good book and we have read the first three chapters of the second book in class so far! You are such a talented author and very funny too. Please write back!
Wow! Too bad you got sick. It was a lot of fun at St. Agnes!

Did you talk about one of my books in your books club? I would really like that.
Yes I did.
HI we love your books. They are really funny. I like how your characters develop. Do you like pie? How do you think of your topics? Are you going to add new characters? 🙂
