Middle School, The Worst Years of my Life

Middle School, the Worst Years of my Life
by James Patterson
illustrated by Laura Park

Rafe Khatchadorian has a great plan for getting through his first year of middle school: break every rule in the book!  With his "Operation R.A.F.E." (Rules Aren't For Everyone), he looks for ways to break every rule in his school's Code of Conduct.   In addition to finding ways to break the school's numerous rules, Rafe must also deal with a menacing school bully as well as his mother's obnoxious boyfriend.    Will Rafe meet his goal of breaking all the rules, or will he come to his senses before it's too late?  

This book was recommended to me by a fifth grader and I think it's going to be a great addition to our library!   Filled with great illustrations, this book combines humor with realistic situations including bullies and family issues.   I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series!
