In his acclaimed and number-one bestselling middle-grade comic debut, children's choice award author of the year James Patterson delivers a hilarious and heartwarming story. Rafe Khatchadorian faces many problems at home and struggles through his first year of middle school. He devises a plan to make his year the best ever by trying to break every rule in his school's oppressive Code of Conduct—gathering points for minor mischiefs like chewing gum in class or running in the hallways, and major ones like pulling the fire alarm.
As Rafe's game begins to catch up with him, he must decide if winning matters more than facing the rules, bullies, and the truths he's been avoiding. Patterson's debut middle-grade novel tackles issues like bullying, first crushes, and discovering what makes each of us unique, all wrapped in a humorous tale with engaging illustrations.
