Middle School: Get Me Out of Here!

Rafe Khatchadorian barely survived the sixth grade, but with the help of his teacher, he was accepted to Airbrook Arts Community School.

But then disaster strikes. Rafe’s mom loses her job and they are forced to move and live with Grandma Dotty. Fortunately, Rafe is accepted to a different art school, where he meets Matty the Freak, who becomes his first real live friend.

Then comes Rafe’s first art assignment critique*, where the students hang their artwork in front of the entire class for everyone’s comments. It doesn’t go well, and Rafe gains a new enemy.

But according to his teacher, art and life are very interconnected*, and Rafe decides that in order to improve his art, he needs to expand his experiences. So he creates a brand-new mission.

Operation “Get a Life” challenges Rafe to discover 195 new experiences in 195 days, the number of days he has until the big spring art show at school.

Of course, experiencing life isn’t all about good stuff. Unfortunately, the combination of Rafe’s active imagination, his mission, and Matty the Freak land him in trouble over and over again.

With constant action and high energy, nonstop comedy, and zillions* of funny drawings, this is a perfect series for both reluctant and adamant* readers.
