Middle School: How I Survived Bullies, Broccoli, And Snake Hill

Rafe Khatchadorian has a plan for his first year of middle school: break every single rule in the student handbook.

Rafe is not a troublemaker exactly — he is a creative thinker whose creativity happens to make teachers furious. When he decides to turn his first year at Hills Village Middle School into a personal game, earning points for every rule he breaks, what follows is chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt. James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts nail the particular, awful comedy of being twelve.

Beneath the rule-breaking is a story about a child who needs to be seen — who turns his pain into performance because it is the only language that feels powerful. Rafe is a lot more than a class clown, and the book knows it.

A fast, funny, illustrated read for children aged 9–12 — perfect for reluctant readers and anyone who has ever felt like school was specifically designed to make them miserable.
