In this seventh Middle School episode, Rafe heads back to the place his misadventures began: the dreaded Hills Village Middle School, where he's now being forced to take "special" classes. He also finds himself joining the school's football team-alongside his main tormenter, Miller the Killer! But Rafe has grand plans for a better year: First, he decides to start a super-secret art project that's sure to rock the school. Then, if Rafe manages to make a play to save his team, he might have to deal with something completely new: popularity!

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. Leo, Rafe's imaginary friend, named for his deceased brother, still serves as Rafe's confidant and muse, and Rafe continues anonymously posting his comics for a growing audience. Jeanne Galletta remains his one-sided love interest, but will Rafe's football prowess fuel Jeanne's feelings for him? Bryan Kennedy creates a conversational and humorous tone for the story and finds an authentic voice for each of the characters. This audiobook also contains a PDF of illustrations. VERDICT Another humorous installment in a popular series.—Mary Lee Bulat, Harwinton Public Library, CT
