International bestselling author
'The book's ... message that "normal is boring" should go a long way toward assuring kids who don't fit the mold that there's a place for them, too.'
Publishers Weekly
Blockbuster author James Patterson delivers a genuinely hilarious – and surprisingly poignant – story of a wildly imaginative, one-of-a-kind kid that you won't soon forget.
Rafe Khatchadorian has enough problems at home without throwing his first year of middle school into the mix. Luckily, he's got an ace plan for the best year ever, if only he can pull it off. With his best friend Leonardo the Silent awarding him points, Rafe tries to break every rule in his school's oppressive Code of Conduct. Chewing gum in class – 5,000 points! Running in the hallway – 10,000 points! Pulling the fire alarm – 50,000 points! But when Rafe's game starts to catch up with him, he'll have to decide if winning is all that matters, or if he's finally ready to face the rules, bullies, and truths he's been avoiding.
'Patterson artfully weaves a deeper and ... thought-provoking tale of childhood coping mechanisms and everyday school and family realities ... Hand this book to misbehaving, socially awkward, or disengaged boys and girls ... It might help them believe that there is a place for them in the world, no matter how dire times may seem in the present.'
School Library Journal
'An enjoyable story that even the most reluctant readers should enjoy.'
Library Media Connection
'A keen appreciation of kids' insecurities and an even more astute understanding of what might propel boy readers through a book ... a perfectly pitched novel.'
Los Angeles Times
