Middle school the worst years of my life- James Patterson

"Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life" by James Patterson is the first book in the Middle School series, following the life of Rafe Khatchadorian, a middle school student who is about to face the toughest years of his life.

Rafe is tired of living by the rules at his school, so he decides to break every rule in the student handbook as part of his plan to make middle school more interesting. With the help of his best friend, Leo the Silent, Rafe embarks on a rebellious journey filled with pranks, mischief, and outrageous challenges, all while trying to keep his actions a secret from the teachers and his strict principal, Mrs. Donatello.

However, things don't go as smoothly as Rafe hoped. His rebellious behavior leads to chaos in the classroom and beyond. Along the way, he faces personal struggles, such as the pressure to live up to the expectations of his family, especially his overachieving older brother, Bear, and dealing with his feelings about his parents' troubled marriage.
