It’s the characters in Middle School that really give this series its heart. Told from the riotously honest perspective of Rafe, readers really get into the headspace of a young boy who is just trying to fit in and be accepted by others. Middle School follows eleven-year-old Rafe as he navigates his way through Grade 6, while also juggling a problematic home life. With his ‘pukey sister’ Georgia, school bully ‘Miller the Killer’, and the diabolical teacher he names the ‘Dragon Lady’ constantly on his case, it’s no wonder Rafe spends plenty of time in his favourite subject. Especially dumb ones, like no talking in the hallways at my school and only being allowed to use the bathroom two times a day, no matter what.' ‘Hi I’m Rafe Khatchadorian, and if you already know me, then you know I do things a little differently than most people. So, if you haven’t already met him, it’s our pleasure to introduce you to Rafe Khatchadorian, the comically tragic star of the Middle School series.
