I think this book was very good. I liked how Rafe faced the biggest conflict in this book. it wa sad at the end and happy at the kind of the same time. The sad part is about is father which is devistating ,but he gets to end up where he started in the first place. i would recommend this book to readers who love funny, imagintive, and adventuruos readers!!

I found this book very much like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. This was a nice variation of James Patterson's talents.

Basically Rafe has made it to the 7th grade but that is the least of his worries. His mom looses her job and they are forced to move in with their grandma who lives in the city. Luckily Rafe is able to get into a nice art school there. But getting in is the easy part, Rafe has to find a way to stay in the school, which means his previous record might haunt him in his new envi...more

The sequel to MIDDLE SCHOOL: THE WORST YEARS OF MY LIFE is here!

Rafe learned a few things the hard way when he set out to break the rules in book #1, and now he has a new plan. After a freak fire destroys the diner where his mother works, they move from their small town to the big city so his mom can hopefully find a job.

All this means Rafe, his little sister, and his mom will be living in cramped quarters in his grandmother's over-stuffed house. Rafe is also going to a new school. He'll be able...more

Last year we met Rafe in the 6th grade as he raised all kinds of H-E double hockey sticks. He also had a friend named Leo that kept ratcheting up the ante which didn't help at all. Turned out that Rafe had a lot of past pain he had to work through and needed to be addressed. Leo turns out to be an interesting character, indeed.

This year Rafe moves in with his grandmother in the city and has to start all over in a new school. Fortunately, he gets into another art institute for the artistically gi...more

When the restaurant at which his mother works burns down, the family moves from Hills Village to the city, where they stay with Rafe's grandmother in her crowded house. Rafe is bummed that he won't be able to go to Airbrook Arts, but he applies for Cathedral Art School and gets in, much to his surprise. He has trouble fitting in at first, especially since all of the students seem to excel academically and it's a lot of work. He also runs afoul Zeke and Kenny, who trash his locker with green pain...more

Rafe Kachadorian is known to be a trouble maker. He causes problems where ever he goes. Even though he knows that he should not. But Rafe causes so much trouble and is always caught because of his silliness. Well in this story, Rafe's family is in trouble. Rafe's mom works in this restaurant called Swifty's Diner. Well that restaurant had caught fire due to the grease left on the stove. The whole restaurant burnt down and after the fire was out, every thing there was black. Now Rafe's mom had n...more

This is a pretty good sequel. It is another story of a middle school student named Rafe who starts middle school in 7th grade in a new school in the big city. He has to adjust to the city life and to his new school in this fun, comedy, realistic fiction.
The book has strength, such as how you can feel like the middle school student in the book. The dialogue is also very good. This lets you feel like the character. One time they had a pop quiz and he expressed his feelings of the test and his str...more

Warning: You may want to read Middle School the Worst Years of my Life before you read this book.

This story is one great book for kids to laugh along with. But it does involve getting in trouble so I suggest you do not go what Rafe does. Rafe is the main character of this book. He may be a trouble maker but I think everyone may relate to him, in some way at least.



Rafe was living a great life during his summer break until that day. The day when his mom's job burned down. Now their family has to m...more

What was amazing about the first Rafe book was how sad and heavy it was considering it was a humorous book. The tragi-comedy continues in book 2, but the plot twists were a bit of a stretch. There was still a lot to like and fans will line up for it. I know half my fifth grade students are chomping at the bit for it.

A good sequel to the first book that I found even better than the first.
Rafe Khatchadorian moves to the city to go to his new arts school, Cathedral. After the kids make fun of him at school, he thinks he should do more exciting things in life and, like the first book, makes an operation to have more fun in life (Operation: Get a Life). Along the way, he makes his first actual friend, a somewhat nerdy student nicknamed "Matty the Freak". Rafe also questions the whereabouts of his father who left...more

This is the second James Patterson (with ghostwriter) book I've ever read, and the writing style is as plot-driven as the first "Middle School" book. I would agree with the series's naysayers who say these stories are like "fruit loops," with little substance behind Rafe's hijinks, except the emotional content is spot-on, especially in two rather understated scenes regarding Rafe's absent father. Patterson (with ghostwriter) captures the feelings of overwhelmed adolescence in Rafe's illustration...more

I understand what Patterson and the others are trying to do here: make a book that is appealing to middle school students. I'm rating this for myself, but know that the students at my school love these. They talk about how funny they are, when the first word that comes to my mind is "sad". Poor Rafe has gone through so much, and when he finally gets a friend, well, let's just say Matty is not the ideal friend. A few things really bothered me: Rafe ends up breaking many rules, perhaps laws, and a...more

Rafe Katchadorian's adventures continue in this second installment in the series. Make sure you read the first book, or it might be a little difficult to appreciate all of the changes in Rafe as he embarks on his newest adventure.I enjoy reading about Rafe's adventures and always wince at his struggles and choices in friends. Is Middle School really this awful for some students? It is very rewarding to see Rafe grow and change over the course of the book. He is maturing and learning what it is l...more

I would have given this a four, but near the end of the book, Patterson pulls out some really good story line that makes me say, "wow!". Rafe continues his middle school saga, moving to the big city after mom loses her job (the diner burns down) and starts at a different art school. As is typical in middle school, some kids immediately dislike Rafe and make his life miserable. Rafe finds his first friend, loses his first friend, and realizes what makes a true friend. He also learns some things a...more
