“Hilarious, great drawings, and heartwarming too.”

My brief summary of the book

Rafe Katchadorian, a 6th grader, is starting his new year in middle school! At first, his day seemed dull until his imaginary friend Leo planted an idea in his head. Leo asks Rafe to break every school rule during the whole school year! By doing so, Rafe is getting in trouble, and his teachers are getting angry. Will Rafe get the best or the worst school year?

My thoughts

This book is super hilarious, full of jokes, fun drawings. Some of the characters are scary while the others are funny! The story is stomach-twisting and hair-raising too! I just started my first year at middle school, and so far, so good. I don’t want to break any rules like Rafe. Overall, this book is perfect for middle schoolers to have a good laugh.

My rating

Do your kids enjoy having a good laugh?
