Oh, come now; they aren't so bad, are they? Written by James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts, this novel follows a 6th grade student named Rafe, his friend Leo, his crush Jeanne, the school bully Miller the Killer, and more. Rafe is your average kid with an uncomfortable living situation; much like he is trying to find his way at home, he is also just trying to find his place in the school. Leo has convinced him to partake in Operation Rafe; what this means is that Rafe is going to break EVERY rule in the school handbook. They even have a scoring system in place. Things get complicated, though, when Rafe's mom becomes disappointed in him, when his grades begin to deteriorate, and when Miller the Killer finds Rafe's notebook with Operation Rafe detailed and blackmails him. The book is entertaining and very easy to read. It has very recently been released into theaters as a movie, and it also has a cycle of books behind it, so if you enjoy this book, there are more to keep you occupied. Audiences of all kinds can enjoy this book, and we have it and many of the others in the school's library.

Note From Ms. PIt will probably come as no surprise that I am an avid reader. I have also been spending a lot of time in the Dawn Hodges Library here at WAAS evaluating what books we can add to have students really READING. Some of you already read on your own, which is great because reading opens your mind to new ideas and possibilities you might not otherwise think of. It helps you to imagine and live in a new world for a little while, which is something we all need sometimes. Archives
