Rafe Khatchadorian has enough problems dealing with life at home without throwing his first year of middle school into the mix. Luckily, he has come up with a brilliant master plan to make this the best year ever. With his best friend Leonardo the Silent keeping score, Rafe is setting out to break every single rule in his school's oppressive Code of Conduct. The points add up fast. Chewing gum in class earns him five thousand points, running wildly in the hallway is worth ten thousand, and pulling the fire alarm is a massive fifty thousand points. It is the ultimate game of rebellion. But as Rafe's hilarious rule-breaking starts to catch up with him, the stakes get higher. He will have to decide if winning this secret game is all that matters, or if he is finally ready to face the bullies, the rules, and the truths he has been avoiding.
