This book stars Rafe Katchadorian. The setting begins with Rafe starting his day at Hills Village Middle School. Soon Rafe ends up sitting in the assembly room with his peers while the Principal reads the rules out loud. After the assembly he comes up with operation Rafe. In operation Rafe, Rafe has to try and break all the rules, while doing this he gets bonus points if people laugh, the girl he likes sees, or etc. Later on he failed 6 subjects, so he ended up getting tutored by the girl he likes. Rafe had three lives, if he hurt someone physically or emotionally he would lose a life, well in the end he had 0 lives. His imaginary friend and brother (Rafe and his brother Leo were best friends but Leo died from cancer) convinced Rafe to break the rules even though he had no lives left.
I think this was a pretty good book. It was pretty funny and the illustrations were pretty well drawn. One thing I didn’t like was how the book gave off a bad influence. For example, he tried to break every rule in the book. He got punished but he didn't care. I also didn't like how the "Bear" shoved Rafe's mom to the ground. Kind of a bit bad for a children's book if you asked me. On the bright side they got rid of that jerk after he went into the police car. ( )
