From School Library Journal:

Gr 5–8—After flunking out of art school, Rafe Khatchodorian is returning to Hills Village Middle School. As an eighth grader with special needs, Rafe must sign up for a learning skills class. That's where he meets Flip, his first real best friend, who gets him onto the HVMS football team. "Middle School" series fans will cheer when Rafe scores a touchdown and earns the respect of Killer Miller, his longtime nemesis.

Jeanne Galletta remains his one-sided love interest, but will Rafe's football prowess fuel Jeanne's feelings for him?

VERDICT Another humorous installment in a popular series.—Mary Lee Bulat, Harwinton Public Library, CT
