Middle School: Save Rafe!

I chose this rating because it was funny, imaginable and just amazing, but mostly funny.
What I liked about it is how at first he was sleeping and imagining things
but after, when he heard the bad news, he would've fallen off a cliff then go back to that school.
I would recommend this book to probably teenagers or younger because these middle school books are very funny, and encourages me to get the full version of this book!

I read some other reviews about this book. They said that they thought that James Patterson I using ghost writers. I agree. This book doesn't go like anything I have ever seen him write. Hope you enjoy it, but keep an eye out for what the book says and what you think it should say.

This book was hilarious! It was also creative and I loved the names of the characters in this book. So if you are reading this review and you have not read this book yet, READ IT!

I liked this book by James Patterson. I generally like books for teens/young adults by James Patterson; he is a brilliant author, however I am a pretty fast reader and I finished this in just over an hour, so if you are looking for something that you can read on a road trip or something without having to switch to another book and you are a fast reader, I wouldn't recommend it. On the other hand, if you are looking for something you can just pick up and simply read for pleasure and lots of laughs, then you've come to the right book! Hope you find this review helpful!

This series of books, targeted at Middle School aged kids, is exemplary. The language, experiences and friendships of the kids are spot on for this audience. The illustrations take the text to a whole new level and are jammed-packed full of emotions, action and just loads of fun! I really love them a lot and having taught that grade level for many years know from personal experience that the kids would get a kick out of them too.

"You heard me"! Mom shouted on the other side of the door. "YOU'RE GOING BACK TO HILLS VILLAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!"

Here begins the new adventure of Rafe Khatchadorian who was terminated from Hills Village Middle and from two other private art schools. Oh my! Backed into a corner, with no other options before him, he bites the bullet and he and his mom go back to his old school to re-enroll.

This may not be as easy as it seems because the harsh (almost cruel) administrators at HVMS are out to get him. Their names say it all, Mrs. Stricker and Mrs. Stonecase....now who wouldn't want them running your kid's school? The only way for Rafe to come back without having to repeat last year's work is for him to successfully complete "The Program." Now what in the world does that entail ? It is a bootcamp of sorts which requires perseverance, courage and it is mandatory to complete no matter what. Rafe knows it is his only hope of getting back into that school and even more importantly not to let his mom down once again. He accepts the challenge (rather reluctantly at first) and man's up to the tasks ahead of him.

Upon his arrival at the camp he sees a motley crew of kids indeed. He recognizes crazy, delinquent, major loser and then there is himself. His leaders are cold-hearted and authoritative and give no lenience to the pack. This is what is expected of you, now carry it out and get it done pronto. No if and or buts accepted. You fail to show initiative and complete what is set before you...bye bye.

The morning wake up call goes like this....

"Good morning, Cockroaches,
"Time to mow down another challenge, " Sarge Fish said, "Move, move, move, move, moooooooove."

The challenges set before the group require teamwork, trust and successfully completing the task to acquire coveted tokens which ensure you a ticket home. Failure means being expelled from the program and ensuring that you will spend a minimum of four years back in your middle school. Will Rafe make the cut and be a success? As the challenges become more and more difficult can he complete the tasks set before him and earn another token?

Through all these hardships and tough-love scenarios Rafe has an epiphany. Why in the world would he ever want to mess up his life back home with a warm, dry house to live in, lovely home cooked meals compliments of mom and of course the fact that she is always there to to help deal with and solve his problems. He decides then and there to make a life change....one for the better and make everyone proud of him. He realizes he has value and worth and his self-esteem grows inside giving him the knowledge that after completing The Program he will succeed at Hills Village Middle school too.

I really like this book because it shows the character as an everyday boy. He draws comics, he jokes around, and he gets C's in almost every subject he has. But this all changes when he goes to camp. This is no ordinary camp, it a military camp. Rafe is left with no other choice but to man up and face his fears. He did things he never imagined he would do; burn a page in his comic book that he drew to maintain a fire and keep warm, he ate the worst meals of his life, and last but not least he is forced to write a letter to himself. If you had read all of the previous books in this series, then you would know that Rafe Katchadorian's most unforgiving subject is ELA. It’s not that he’s bad at it, it’s just that it never works out for him. He always ends up drawing a comic. Moving on, Rafe's principal told him that in order for him to continue his education at HVMS, he has to go to this camp. His mother is really counting on him, and that's his motive. If you had read the previous books in this series, you would understand that Rafe had done many things to upset his mother in the past and would do anything to make his mother happy. Rafe has to do this nightmare, for his mom. Overall, this book is very interesting and is filled with jokes. It is definitely worth reading.

If you like books written by James Patterson, this is the book for you. In my opinion “Save Rafe” is one of the best books James Patterson has written for kids.I won’t spoil it but the whole book is filled with lots of exciting parts. There were truly no bad parts in this book. If you have read any of James Patterson’s Middle School series, you need to read all the books leading up to this book and this book.

Airbrook Arts school has burned down and Rafe has to get back into: Hills Village Middle school by completing a program called: The Program. The Program is a boot camp where kids need to 'repent' for their 'ways' by getting 10 strings. (You earn strings by doing stuff to 'repent'.)
