Overview:
Rafe Khatchadorian is back for another laugh-out-loud adventure in Middle School: Save Rafe!, book six in James Patterson's hugely popular Middle School series. After a chaotic summer, Rafe returns to Hills Village Middle School only to discover he may have to repeat the year unless he survives a gruelling outdoor challenge. Packed with short chapters, comic-strip doodles and irresistible humour, this paperback is a brilliant pick for reluctant readers, film fans, and anyone who loves a hero who never quite plays by the rules.

About the Book:
After barely scraping through his first year at Hills Village Middle School, Rafe Khatchadorian is hoping for a quieter time of it. No such luck. He's told he'll have to repeat the year entirely unless he can prove himself on a gruelling outdoor survival programme, complete with white-water rafting, terrifying rope climbs and a drill-sergeant style counsellor determined to break his spirit. Worse still, he'll need to work as part of a team with the very last people he'd choose - including the infuriating, work-shy Carmen - if any of them are going to make it through the final test: a solo overnight excursion deep in the woods.

James Patterson and co-author Chris Tebbetts keep the pace relentless and the jokes coming fast, blending laugh-out-loud set pieces with Rafe's trademark doodles and asides. Beneath the comedy, there's real heart: perseverance, self-belief and learning to trust others run through every chapter. It's a story about growing up and discovering that courage doesn't always look the way you expect. With the Middle School film bringing Rafe's world to a wider audience, this instalment captures everything that makes the series a modern classroom favourite - fast, funny, and impossible to put down.
